Usage notes

The word minpunt and its antonym pluspunt have almost the same meaning as nadeel and voordeel, but are not used in exactly the same situations. They only apply when talking about a characteristic or aspect of something. In the sentence "Ik ondervind daar nadeel van" one cannot replace nadeel by minpunt.
