A quick definition of natural:

Natural: Something that happens on its own without anyone making it happen. It is normal and happens because of nature, not because someone made it happen. For example, a tree growing in the forest is natural because it grows on its own without anyone planting it. It can also mean something that is not made by people, like a natural lake or a natural talent that someone is born with.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In accord with the regular course of things in the universe and without accidental or purposeful interference. Normal; proceeding from the regular character of a person or thing. Brought about by nature as opposed to artificial means. Inherent; not acquired or assumed. Indigenous; native. Of or relating to birth. Untouched by civilization; wild.

Examples:

  • A natural death as opposed to murder.
  • It is natural for a duck to fly south in the winter.
  • A natural lake.
  • Natural talent.
  • The original or natural inhabitants of a country.
  • Natural child as distinguished from adopted child.
  • Only a small part of the forest remains in its natural state.

The examples illustrate that something is natural when it occurs without any interference or influence from humans. For example, a natural death is one that happens without any foul play or intervention. A natural talent is something that a person is born with and not something that they have learned or acquired through practice. A natural lake is one that has formed through natural processes, such as erosion and precipitation, rather than being created by humans. The natural inhabitants of a country are those that have lived there for generations and are not immigrants or settlers. A natural child is one that is born to their parents, rather than being adopted. A forest in its natural state is one that has not been touched or altered by humans.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
