a property is, well a property - the land under your house. Can't move it, it's fixed.
an attribute is the house, can replace it, can completely remove it, grass is an attribute, a hole in the proptery is an attribute - all those can be changed.
sooo, everything about your car is an attribute. The fact it is a car is a property.
ok, can get silly and ask "what if I remove all the wheels, is it still a car?"
well, it weelie is still a car, just missing some of it's attributes (so not a very useful car).

In .Net, properties can have get and set methods which means they are not treated that way, in .Net at least.

Yes, I read that. But the meaning in .Net might actually be the real meaning. Just saying.

When you list up the someone's inner properties, it's a tribute.

If you have a property, you will have to pay a tribute

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

So the colour of the car is an attribute.
The wheel is a property in it self, but an attribute to the car?

What if I added some more properties and turned it into a boat and a helicopter all at once? Also it's important that it runs on raspberry juice (or whale oil) and has a robot as the pilot[^].

I'd say the house is a property, the windows are an attribute, actually the land is the equivalent of field which ties in quite nicely with .net.

Within .Net, my understanding is that a property will have a getter and/or a setter with possibly some logic in them. And an attribute would just be a public variable, for example, where there is no logic in the get and set.
But that is just from my experience, nothing official. Could be totally wrong.

I know the difference in .Net, it's the lingual difference or semantics I'm after.

No, no. A Bug is an "undocumented feature"; a "feature" is just something that might or might not work.

If the undocumented feature is working, is it still a bug?

Most English speakers don't use those terms. We tend to say watchamacallit, or thingummybob, or just point at it.

I'd say that the two words were essentially synonymous outside of IT.

In the English language "property" and "attribute" are exactly the same meaning in the case where "property" is a property of an object such as "a banana is yellow". In this case, "yellow" is an attribute or property of the banana.
If you are buying a house then the house can be referred to as a "property" but this is a different meaning and has nothing to do with "attribute".
You can also "attribute" a quotation to a given person but this is a different meaning and has nothing to do with "property".
Additionally, you can say, "That is my property" when referring to an object that belongs to you. Again, nothing to do with "attribute".

I was hoping one was more related to nouns and the other one to adjectives or adverbs

Isn't the English language fun!

Stupid - An individual without knowledge and is incapable of learning.
Idiot - An individual without knowledge and allows social media to do the thinking for them.

Nope! It's just that simple. Two words for the same thing; just like "motorcar" and "automobile". The English language has a lot of redundancy because we stole a lot of our words from several different languages so we end up with a lot of duplicate use cases.

I think you're off the mark on this particular example. When you attribute a quote, you are saying it is the property of some source. "Nothing to do with" is, at least as I observe, a substantial overstatement.
