Have you seen anything beautiful today?
-
Well now you have.
-
Just kidding. I'm sorry.
-
I had to because...today we're going to talk about 12 Beautiful Words.
-
Welcome to our global classroom. Today we're learning 12 Beautiful Words.
-
And before we go into the words, I would like to invite you to join our social media classes for more practice.
-
We're active on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.
-
So today I'm going to give you 12 Beautiful Words that are synonyms for the word "Beautiful."
-
I have some words that are better for you than just to say "Beautiful."
-
These are very helpful when you're trying to express different nuances when you mean to express that something looks special or incredible.
-
So by the end of this lesson, you'll be able to express yourself better and have a wider vocabulary.
-
And kind of from now on use them instead of the word "beautiful."
-
So the first word I have for your today is the word Alluring.
-
And alluring is something that's mysteriously attractive or that's fascinating.
-
So, when I say that something is alluring I'm kind of drawn to it.
-
So kind of attracted and I want to kind of get to it.
-
That's an alluring dessert.
-
The second word I have for you today is Exquisite.
-
And exquisite is something that is very special.
-
Of special beauty and rare.
-
So when you want to say that something is very rare or very, very, very special.
-
We say that it is exquisite.
-
The architecture in the Temple de Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is exquisite.
-
Number 3 - Lovely
-
Lovely means very pleasant or enjoyable.
-
Lovely is kind of a soft word.
-
So when you want to express something that's not like extremely beautiful, but still really, really nice...
-
We say lovely.
-
We had a lovely picnic at the park.
-
Number 4 - Stunning
-
Now stunning is very different than lovely.
-
Where lovely was a little soft, stunning is strong.
-
It means very impressive or attractive.
-
So if somebody is stunning or if something is stunning, it means that it kind of shocks you with it's beauty.
-
Her wedding dress was stunning.
-
Number 5 - Magnificent
-
Magnificent means impressively beautiful or extravagant.
-
This is a word I really like because many times it's used to describe nature.
-
Of course you can use magnificent with people as well.
-
So, it really means extremely impressive.
-
For example, you can say...
-
The view from the top of the mountain was magnificent.
-
Number 6 is Splendid.
-
And splendid really is just a synonym for magnificent.
-
So it can be used interchangeably.
-
But it's really mostly used for nature or objects rather than people.
-
I picked up a splendid flower bouquet for our apartment.
-
Number 7 - Appealing
-
Appealing is attractive or interesting.
-
I would say appealing is many times used to describe food.
-
We really definitely use, "Oh this looks appealing" or "This doesn't look appealing to me."
-
So you will definitely hear it in that context.
-
The strawberries looked very appealing, so I got two boxes.
-
Number 8 is Attractive.
-
And attractive means very pleasing to the eye.
-
You can use attractive to describe both men and women.
-
It can be used for objects as well.
-
But it's mainly used to say that someone's good looking.
-
My husband is a very attractive man.
-
Number 9 is Charming.
-
And charming means pleasant or attractive with a great personality.
-
It can be used to describe both objects and people.
-
We spent Christmas Eve in a charming little cottage by the water.
-
Number 10 is Superb.
-
And superb means excellent and splendid.
-
It's really just very, very beautiful.
-
The little girl had a superb singing voice.
-
Number 11 - Gorgeous
-
Gorgeous means beautiful and very attractive.
-
And it's...I would say it's mostly used for women.
-
But it can also be used for nature and objects.
-
We stopped to look at the gorgeous sunset.
-
Number 12 - and I really like this one - is Ravishing.
-
Ravishing means delightful, entrancing.
-
I would almost say disarming.
-
It's such a beautiful word. I love it.
-
Her ravishing smile lit up the room.
