The positive word dictionary

We are going to look at positive words and how we can use them by looking at some examples of them being used in a sentence. You will also see a comprehensive list of positive words which you can then apply to your day-to-day speech and writing.

What Is A Positive Word?

A positive word is a word which has a positive meaning or imposes a positive meaning on an existing word. For example. if you take the sentence ‘this is a cake’ but you wanted to convey that the cake was really good, you could use a positive word to imply that. The sentence would then look like this ‘this is an amazing cake.’

More often than not these words are likely to be adjectives but this isn’t a rule that is set in stone. For example, a positive noun could be ‘achiever’ which means someone who achieves. In a sentence, it might sound something like this ‘Stan was a real achiever in everything he did.’ Positive words can enrich a sentence by enhancing the positive meaning behind it and enabling the speaker to express how good something is. These words can produce an uplifting effect on the sentence in which they are used.
