Hello! Tell me, please, in the sentence "It is no longer a young woman who is looking at them, admiring them, but she is also dressed brightly" whether it is necessary to write not a young one together.
At the same time, in the described picture "Spring Sunny Day" the woman is not old, but not young either, that is, I wanted to emphasize that she is nominally not young, but not old. Before that, it was written about two young girls. Thanks a lot!
- spelling
If you want to emphasize that a woman is not young, but is a little older than young , then write separately. Writing middle-aged = old with a touch of political correctness.
four
Separate spelling can only be justified by negation.
I'll try to suggest the following solution.
For the words "young - old" there is a so-called gradation of the sign according to its growth, when the form of writing has a specific meaning: young → (no longer) young, but (still) not old → middle-aged (almost old) → old.
The spelling "no longer young", "not yet old" are close to stable (traditional) spellings and denote middle age.
