Invalid [ɪnˈvælɪd] ni batili au isiyo sahihi: an invalid ticket, an invalid password. Kivumishi hiki hutumiwa kwa hati, tiketi na data, si watu. Kwa watu, sema a disabled person au, kwa namna inayomtanguliza mtu, a person with a disability. Nomino invalid yenye mkazo kwenye silabi ya kwanza, ikimaanisha mtu mgonjwa anayehitaji kutunzwa, bado ipo kamusini, lakini inasikika ya zamani na inaweza kuumiza.

Kilichobadilika
Toleo la kwanzaThe new metro station has lifts for invalids.
Baada ya marekebishoThe new metro station has lifts for people with disabilities.
Kamusi bado huorodhesha nomino invalid, na katika lugha nyingine neno linalofanana hutumiwa kwa watu wenye ulemavu, hivyo lifts for invalids inaweza kuonekana sahihi. Lakini katika Kiingereza cha sasa, neno hilo kwa watu husikika la zamani na linaweza kuudhi. Sema for people with disabilities au for disabled people. Invalid ni la wastani linapomaanisha kitu batili au kisichokubalika.
Kwenye tovuti na programu, invalid ni isiyo sahihi au isiyokubalika: Invalid email address. Kinyume chake ni valid, yaani inayokubalika rasmi au ambayo bado inatumika: Is this ticket still valid?
