How would you use quasi in a sentence?

Here are a few examples of how to use "quasi" in a sentence:

* "The company's new product is a quasi-competitor to our flagship offering, as it shares some features but focuses on a different niche market." (meaning it's almost, but not fully, a competitor)

* "The government implemented a quasi-legal system to address the emergency situation, which raised concerns about its legality." (meaning it's similar to, but not officially, legal)

* "The artist's work is a quasi-surrealist style, blending realistic elements with dream-like imagery." (meaning it's somewhat, but not completely, surrealist)

* "The group held a quasi-meeting, with members attending virtually and in person." (meaning it was almost, but not entirely, a traditional meeting)

Key point: "Quasi" signifies a partial or incomplete resemblance to something else. It's often used to describe things that are similar to something else, but not quite the same.
