adjective B1 property
1

extremely impressive or very good

Very, very good, exciting, or impressive.

Tipar de utilizare: [something] is incredible
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes think 'incredible' always means 'not true' because of the word 'credible'. In modern everyday English, this sense is usually positive and means 'very good' or 'very impressive'. Use it like 'amazing', especially before positive nouns like 'view', 'job', or 'experience'.
Sinonime
amazing (Very close in meaning; slightly more common in everyday speech.) | fantastic (Very positive and enthusiastic, often a bit informal.) | awesome (Informal and very enthusiastic; used a lot in casual speech.)
Antonime
terrible (Opposite in quality; describes something very bad.) | ordinary (Opposite in impressiveness; something normal and not special.)
Colocații

adjective B2 property
2

hard or impossible to believe

So strange or surprising that you think it cannot be true.

Tipar de utilizare: it is incredible that [clause]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes use this sense in clearly positive situations where they only want to say 'very good'. If you want to show doubt or that something seems too strange to be true, use this meaning. If you only want to praise something, the first sense (very good/impressive) is usually better. Also, 'incredible' here often takes 'that'-clauses: 'It is incredible that he lied,' not *'It is incredible of he lied.'
Sinonime
unbelievable (Very close in meaning; can be either positive or negative depending on context.) | implausible (More formal; stresses that something does not seem reasonable or likely.)
Antonime
credible (Describes something that can be believed because it seems reasonable or true.) | believable (Plain opposite; easy to accept as true or real.)
Colocații

Teme
thinking |truth |communication |core_vocabulary

  • It’s incredible that no one was hurt in such a serious accident.
  • The witness told an incredible story that the jury found hard to accept.

3

extremely large or intense amount

Very, very big in number, amount, or strength.

Tipar de utilizare: an incredible amount of [something]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes use 'very big' where 'incredible' would sound more natural and stronger, especially with 'amount of', 'pressure', or 'pain'. Also, avoid saying *'so incredible much'; instead use 'an incredible amount of' or 'incredibly much' (though 'an incredible amount of' is more natural).
Sinonime
huge (General word for very big size or amount; slightly less strong than 'incredible' in many contexts.) | enormous (Very large in size or amount; more neutral in tone.) | immense (Often slightly more formal; emphasizes very great size or intensity.)
Antonime
small (Opposite in size or amount; describes a low quantity.) | moderate (Opposite in intensity; describes something that is not very strong or large.)
Colocații
an incredible amount of |incredible pressure |incredible speed |incredible effort |incredible pain |incredible energy
Teme
