serious and very important
very serious and important, and needing careful thought or carrying much responsibility
รูปแบบการใช้:
a weighty [issue/decision/responsibility/argument]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes use "weighty" for everyday serious things where native speakers would normally say "serious" (e.g., *a weighty test*). "Weighty" is mostly used for topics, decisions, and responsibilities that feel especially important or have big effects. It is also uncommon to use "weighty" to describe a person’s personality; "serious" or "solemn" are more natural there.
คำพ้องความหมาย

|

|
grave (Adds a sense of worry or danger as well as seriousness.)
คำตรงข้าม
trivial (Emphasizes that something is small and not important at all.)

very heavy and not easy to lift or move
รูปแบบการใช้:
a weighty [object/book/package]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may overuse "weighty" instead of the much more natural "heavy" for physical objects. "Weighty" is correct but sounds more formal or literary; in everyday speech, "heavy box" or "heavy book" is usually preferred.
คำพ้องความหมาย

|
hefty (Informal; can suggest both physical weight and size or impact.)
