They are contraries, meaning they cannot both be true, but can both be false. They are subcontraries, meaning they can both be true, but cannot both be false. They are subalterns, meaning the truth of the universal guarantees the truth of the particular. They are contradictories, meaning they must have opposite truth values; they cannot both be true and cannot both be false.
