Odd?
Or something other word please?

"No estoy acostumbrado a..." = "I'm not used to..."
You can also use the verb to accustom.

Yes it's right.

Accustomed is more appropriate for my example.
Although I'm not use to word is easier too.

It is, but it means "dressed as a nun".

Only nun, and not monk as well?

First of all, I am guessing that pjt might have been pointing out that "habited" would be a term that would not necessarily be used much, if at all. (Possibly trying to be funny....) I think he was also pointing out that there is another use of the word "habit" that hadn't been considered in this context....

Right... Ok, we'll have to wait for him, I guess.

Then the word Habited is correct or incorrect in the its uses.
Because he recommended me accustomed word, then really this word is very hard to mention it sometimes, and for me to say habit is easier for me.

Accustom
Habit
the first ones is easier for me in pronunciation.

No, you can't use habit at all there. The word habited is solely for talking about about a nun's habit, not for talking about anything else. There is the word "inhabited" which refers to living somewhere, but used more for talking about animals. "The bees inhabited the hive for 6 months".

Just stick with "Not used to" or "Not accustomed to".

Thank you for the clarification.

Not used to is easier.

No problem. Yeah, it is :D

Yes it's harder to use the accustom than I'm not use to.
Because well literally when you are speaking in English the word accustom tend to be easier to remember in the same conversation.

Then, you have gave me an idea.

Thank you.:)
