filled with deep respect and wonder
Feeling very impressed and full of respect and wonder because something is very big, beautiful, important, or powerful.
Käyttömalli:
to be awed by [something]
Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners sometimes say *"I am awe"* instead of *"I am awed"* or *"I feel awe"*. Use *"awed"* as an adjective: *"I am awed by the view"*. Another mistake is to say *"I am awed of"*; the usual preposition is *"by"*, as in *"They were awed by the performance."*
Synonyymit
awestruck (Very close in meaning, but often sounds a bit stronger or more emotional than "awed.")
