Hello,

What is the antonym of ability?

Is it 'inability' or 'debility'?

Thanks in advance

Antonym of "ability": "inability"

"debility" is "weakness", "frailty"

Possible antonyms of "debility": "vigor", "strength", "healthiness"

If you are talking about water flow, the antonym of "running" is "stagnant".

In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.

Ineptness is also a good possibility, I think.
