How to use 未知 correctly?
I recently learnt the word 未知. In my dictionary it says it can be a verb meaning 'be unaware of'' or ' be ignorant of', or a adjective meaning unknown.

One of the example sentences in the dictionary was 到目前为止，我们依然未知冥王星的实际情况。Until now, we still know nothing about the planet Pluto. However when I wrote a sentence using it in the same way ' 直到现在我未知太阳耀斑的危险, all the corrections said it was wrong and changed it to 我（都）不知道.

What was wrong with the way I used it? Is the dictionary definition incorrect? Please can you show me some examples of using 未知.

Thank you

Answer

The dictionary is right.未知means unknown,but the subject is always mankind,not a person .In most .cases,未知 is used as a adjective.Here are examples.人类依然未知银河系以外的世界。
他对自己面临的危险依然未知。

Answer

你的词典的释义是完全正确的。
未知=尚未知晓 meaning not yet know  
作为动词，经常会用到这样的句型：直到现在，人们依然（or仍然）未知….（by now, people still know nothing about…/be still puzzled by …）
or,对于。。。，依然（仍然）未知。 （…..is still unknown）
把依然（仍然）+ 未知，这样听起来比较自然。
常常用作形容词，比如，未知领域，未知生物，未知数，未知宇宙等等。
例句：科学家对于人类未知领域一直进行着不断的探索。
