Very; to a very great degree, often used before a positive adjective.
Модел на употреба:
eminently [adjective/past participle]
Честа грешка:
Learners often confuse "eminently" with "imminently." "Eminently" means "very" (eminently qualified = very qualified), while "imminently" means "very soon" (a storm is imminent = a storm will happen soon). Another mistake is to use "eminently" before negative adjectives where a neutral adverb is more natural; while phrases like "eminently forgettable" exist, in most cases "very" or "extremely" is safer and more common.
Синоними

|
remarkably (Emphasizes that something is surprising or unusual; "eminently" focuses on degree and suitability.)
Антоними
slightly (Shows a small degree, which contrasts with the strong degree expressed by "eminently.")
|
