2
having a huge impact
very big and important; changing things a lot.
Brugsmønster:
seismic + [change/shift/impact/event]
Typisk fejl:
In this figurative sense, seismic typically modifies big abstract nouns (shift, change, impact); it can sound odd with small, everyday nouns (e.g., *a seismic lunch*).
Synonymer
dramatic (Strong change or effect, but less metaphorically intense.)
|
momentous (Emphasizes long-term importance rather than sudden impact.)
|
earth-shattering (Very strong and emotional; often more informal or hyperbolic.)
Antonymer
minor (Small in effect or importance.)
|
insignificant (So small it hardly matters.)
