Too unusual or intense to describe
So strong, special, or strange that you cannot easily explain it in words.
תבנית שימוש:
[something] is indescribable
טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes write *undescribable*, but the correct form is *indescribable*. Another mistake is thinking *indescribable* is only used for negative things; in fact, it is common with both positive and negative nouns, such as *indescribable joy* and *indescribable horror*.
