1
full of physical or mental energy
Having a lot of energy and being very active or lively.
Brugsmønster:
[someone] is energetic
Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes confuse 'energetic' with 'energy' and say *'I am energy'*. The correct form is 'I am energetic' or 'I have a lot of energy.' Another mistake is overusing 'very' (*'very very energetic'*); usually one 'very' is enough.
Synonymer
lively (Focuses on being bright and full of life; can also suggest being cheerful or animated.)
|
active (Emphasizes doing many things or moving a lot; slightly more neutral than 'energetic'.)
|

Antonymer
tired (Describes someone who lacks energy at a particular moment.)
|
lethargic (Stronger than 'tired'; suggests unusually low energy and slow movement.)
|

2
involving strong or intense effort
Needing or showing a lot of effort and activity; very strong or intense.
Brugsmønster:
[someone] makes energetic [effort]
Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes use 'strong' instead of 'energetic' for actions, saying *'a strong campaign'* or *'a strong effort'*. While possible in some cases, 'energetic campaign/effort' more clearly suggests continuous and active work. Also avoid *'energy campaign'*; the adjective must be 'energetic'.
Synonymer
vigorous (Very close in meaning; often used for actions, exercise, or debate that is strong and forceful.)
|
intense (Emphasizes the high level or strength of effort or feeling, not only physical movement.)
Antonymer
weak (Describes actions or efforts that do not have much power or effect.)
|
half-hearted (Describes effort that is not sincere or not very strong.)

3
having high physical energy (technical)
Used in science to describe particles, light, or other things that have a lot of physical energy.
Brugsmønster:
[something] is energetic
Typisk fejl:
Learners may think this technical use always refers to something 'full of life' like a person. In science, 'energetic' describes the amount of physical energy, not mood or personality. Also, 'high-energy' is often more natural than 'energetic' for technical writing.
Synonymer
high-energy (Standard technical term; slightly more explicit and common than 'energetic' in scientific writing.)
Antonymer
low-energy (Describes particles or radiation with relatively little physical energy.)
Ordforbindelser
