Captivating
I’ve been on a cycle of starting and quitting English learning more times than I’d like to admit. But now, it’s about time I commit and really put effort into learning English.
Today, I learned the word captivating
.
It’s a far more impressive word than interesting
.
Oops, I’ve just used the word “far”, which is an adverb that emphasizes comparative degrees.
In this sentence, far
is used in the sense of much
or very
, working as the emphasis of more impressive
.
Thus, it emphasizes the nuance of being far more impressive
than interesting
.
The whole sentence means, “It is a word that is far more impressive than ‘interesting’.”
Anyway, I typically default to interesting
when I want to express that something is intriguing
, but from now on, I’m going to start using captivating
.
