Disinterested means to be impartial and not having any bias. Uninterested means a lack of concern with any specific topic. So a disinterested person can vote in an election but not care who wins. An uninterested person could vote but may not since they couldn't care less about the election in the first place.

What is the difference between 'uninterested' and 'disinterested'?

Uninterested means that something is not of interest to you. For example, a US citizen who doesn't care about the 2008 Presidential Election. Disinterested means you don't have a stake in the outcome of an event. For example, if you are a citizen of a different country and don't live in the US and cannot even vote, you could be called a disinterested party. With a slightly different twist, you might be valuable as a disinterested party to help friends with various kinds of problems, or as a member of a jury.

How do you use the word disinterested in a sentence?

Disinterested means holding no particular personal interest, other than the primary one. eg: "Being disinterested, the judge could make a fair judgement." In this case, it means that the judge is not biased either because he does not personally know the people being judged, or because he is not bribed. eg: "This interviewer is disinterested." Similarly, if while recruiting people, an interviewer has already decided on someone, possibly through personal relations, but is still taking interviews, he will NOT be disinterested, since he is interested in someone other than who he is interviewing. This would also apply to people who recruit to gain some personal favours, sexual or otherwise. But if when taking views, he views each interviewee as a potential candidate, merely on the basis of his/her qualifications, then the interviewer could be said to be disinterested. *Not to be confused with uninterested, which means the person is not interested, or not inspired to do something.
