having a huge impact
very big and important; changing things a lot.
Pola penggunaan:

Sinonim
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.)
