A quick definition of affirmative:

Affirmative: When we say something is affirmative, it means we are supporting certain facts or ideas. It can also mean that we have a responsibility to do something and put in effort to make it happen.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Affirmative is an adjective that means:

  1. Supporting the existence of certain facts. For example, if there is affirmative evidence, it means that there is evidence that supports a certain fact or claim.
  2. Involving or requiring effort. For example, if someone has an affirmative duty, it means that they have a duty that requires effort or action.

Examples:

  • There is affirmative evidence that the suspect was at the scene of the crime.
  • It is the company's affirmative duty to provide a safe working environment for its employees.

The first example illustrates the first definition of affirmative. The evidence supports the fact that the suspect was at the scene of the crime. The second example illustrates the second definition of affirmative. The company has a duty to take action to provide a safe working environment for its employees.
