the quality of great physical beauty
The quality of being very beautiful to look at.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
the loveliness of [something]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes use "loveliness" in places where native speakers would more naturally say "beauty" (e.g., "the beauty of the city" is more common than "the loveliness of the city"). Also, some mix up the noun "loveliness" with the adjective "lovely": we say "her loveliness" (noun) but "she is lovely" (adjective), not *"she is loveliness".

Μοτίβο χρήσης:
the loveliness of [someone/something]'s [character/voice/manner]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners may think "loveliness" always describes physical beauty. In this sense, it describes a kind, warm, or gentle quality, especially in someone’s character or in the feeling of a situation, so using it only for looks would miss this emotional meaning.
