Explanation:
asta este pentru "renovabila" ( care are nevoie de reparatie)
Demolabila - subject to demolishment; nu se combina bine; ori se demoleaza pentru ca nu merita sa se repare ori este renovabila, deci merita.

Asker: Cred ca il voi folosi pe asta, nu sunt familiarizata cu tremenul. Poate imi puteti da o explicatie mai amanuntita.

Asker: Colegii mei, care au facut aceasta prezentare, spun ca omul isi poate alege, fie sa o demoleze, fie sa o renoveze, ramane la decizia omului. Si atunci eu care termeni sa-i folosesc? Multumesc frumos
