Всем нам нравится, когда нас хвалят, а хвалить другого человека и того приятнее. Но иногда довольно сложно подобрать нужное слово, которое бы подошло в конкретной ситуации.

Именно поэтому сегодня мы уделим внимание тому, чем же можно заменить всем надоевшее «great». Doesn’t it sound great?

Хотите сказать, что задание выполнено превосходно? Тогда используйте следующие слова:

  • Admirable – восхитительный
  • Amazing – превосходный
  • Arresting – захватывающий
  • Astonishing – изумительный
  • Astounding – поразительный
  • Awesome – потрясающий
  • Awe-inspiring – впечатляющий
  • Beautiful – великолепный
  • Breathtaking – удивительный

Кроме того, многие из синонимов прилагательного «great» можно использовать в речи при описании фильма, понравившейся книги, интересной ситуации:

  • Brilliant – блестящий, выдающийся
  • Captivating – очаровательный
  • Clever – талантливый, умелый
  • Commendable – достойный похвалы
  • Delightful – восхитительный
  • Distinguished – безупречный
  • Distinctive – особенный, отличительный
  • Engaging – притягательный
  • Enjoyable – приятный
  • Estimable – ценный, важный
  • Excellent – отличный
  • Exceptional – исключительный, необыкновенный
  • Exemplary – образцовый
  • Exquisite – совершенный, лучший

Хотите описать погоду, собственное путешествие и позитивные эмоции? Можно с легкостью сделать это с помощью слов, заменяющих «great»:

  • Extraordinary – необычный, удивительный
  • Fabulous – поразительный, неслыханный
  • Fantastic – фантастический
  • Fascinating – обворожительный, очаровательный
  • Finest – превосходный, наилучший

К слову, полицейские в Нью-Йорке имеют прозвище New York finest — «бравые молодчики Нью-Йорка».

  • First-rate – превосходный, первоклассный
  • Flawless – безупречный
  • Glorious – выдающийся, славный
  • Grand – великолепный, роскошный
  • Impressive – впечатляющий

Great синонимы

Хотите похвалить сотрудников за отлично выполненную работу? Радуетесь личным достижениям? Запомните многочисленные синонимы слова «great» и наслаждайтесь процессом:

  • Incomparable – бесподобный, превосходный
  • Incredible – невообразимый, потрясающий
  • Inestimable – бесценный, неоценимый

“If you’re in bad mood, take a deep breath. If you’re in good mood, give thanks to God.” (Если ты в плохом настроении, глубоко вздохни. Если ты в хорошем настроении, поблагодари Бога). Это выражение отлично характеризует ситуацию, при которой нужно уметь радоваться жизни, несмотря на все сложности и препятствия. И даже если ничто не радует, следует задуматься о том, что жизнь полна красок, и если бы не черные полосы, то мы вряд ли бы смогли по-настоящему оценить прекрасные моменты.

Известно, что английский язык богат синонимами, и в этом есть огромный плюс. Если вы забыли какое-то слово, можно с легкостью найти то, которое его заменит. Как видите, сделать это довольно просто, если уделить синонимам немного времени. После некоторого повторения вы с легкостью запомните слова и сможете использовать их в любой ситуации.
