serious and dignified manner or mood
A serious and important feeling or style, without jokes or smiling, in how someone acts or in how an event feels.
รูปแบบการใช้:
the solemnity of [an event/situation]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes confuse ‘solemnity’ with ‘ceremony’. ‘Solemnity’ is mainly the serious mood or style, while ‘ceremony’ is the actual event or set of actions. Another mistake is using *solemnity* to describe a person directly; in most cases you say ‘his solemnity’ or ‘her solemnity’ rather than ‘he is solemnity’.

ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes use ‘solemnity’ in the singular to mean ‘a ceremony’ in general. In this sense, English more often uses the plural ‘solemnities’, especially in religious or legal writing (e.g. ‘the solemnities of marriage’).
