A person who speaks very well in front of many people, usually in a formal or important situation.
Schéma d’usage :
[someone] is an [adjective] orator
Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes confuse "orator" with "narrator" or "announcer". A "narrator" tells a story (for example, in a film or book), and an "announcer" gives information on TV, radio, or at events. An "orator" is specifically a skilled, usually formal public speaker. Learners may also overuse "orator" in casual contexts where "speaker" or "public speaker" is more natural.
Synonymes
speaker (A more general word; does not always suggest high skill or formal style the way "orator" does.)
|
public speaker (Neutral and modern; focuses on speaking in front of groups without the formal, classical flavor of "orator".)
|
rhetorician (More technical and academic; emphasizes skill in rhetoric and argument, not just speaking in public.)
Antonymes
listener (Focuses on the opposite role in communication: a person who receives speech instead of delivering it.)
