What is the difference between inherited and instinct and innate and inborn and intuition ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.

Inherited means that someone has gotten something from a family or ancestor, usually it's something genetic but sometimes it can be something like a job position. For example, you can say, "I've inherited my mother's brown eyes, but my not my father's green eyes." The trait of brown eyes was passed down from your mother. If you were royalty you could say that upon your mother's death, you inherit the role of queen.

Instinct is a natural behavior. For example, dogs shake their fur to dry off even though no one taught them to, and turtles move towards the ocean after hatching because it's in their instincts.

Innate means that something has been natural or normal to someone since birth. It's almost similar to instinct except people usually talk about skill rather than survival like instinct usually is about. I used a sentence from Google which reads, "While I am naturally shy, my sister has an innate ability to charm everyone she meets."

Inborn is very similar to innate, you can call it a synonym to the word innate.

Intuition can be best described in my opinion has being able to understand or think/guess something by a "gut feeling", so not really based on by facts. Let's say you are on a dark street and a scary stranger asks you for help. You have no facts to say that the stranger is nice or evil, but your intuition tells you that you should stay safe and ignore them.


Sorry that this is long, I hope I covered what was needed.
