Very silly, stupid, or impossible to believe, so that you want to laugh at it.
Kullanım kalıbı:
[something] is ludicrous
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes use *ludicrous* to describe something that is just a little funny or strange. In English, *ludicrous* is usually strong and negative, used for things that are extremely silly, unreasonable, or hard to believe. Another common mistake is using it as an adverb (*ludicrous cheap*) instead of the correct adverb *ludicrously* (*ludicrously cheap*).
