very impressive or beautiful
Very beautiful or very large and special, so that it makes you feel strong respect or wonder.
Kullanım kalıbı:
a magnificent [building/view/performance]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes use "big" instead of "magnificent" when they mean impressive and beautiful. "Big" only shows size, while "magnificent" adds the idea of beauty and causing admiration. Another mistake is using it with negative things (e.g., "a magnificent problem"), which sounds wrong; it is almost always positive.

Very very good; excellent in a way that makes people want to praise it.
Kullanım kalıbı:
a magnificent [job/effort/idea/result]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes think "magnificent" can be used for anything big or expensive, even if it is not good (for example, "a magnificent mistake"). In this sense it should only describe things that are very good and praiseworthy. They may also overuse it where a simple "good" or "very good" sounds more natural in casual speech.
Eş anlamlılar
excellent (The most common neutral word for very good; slightly less emotional than "magnificent".)
|
outstanding (Stresses being clearly better than others; often used in evaluations.)
|
superb (Very similar in strength and formality, but slightly more common in everyday speech.)
Zıt anlamlılar
poor (General opposite in terms of quality or performance.)
|
terrible (Very bad in quality, strongly negative where "magnificent" is strongly positive.)

Kullanım kalıbı:

|
generous (Focuses on willingness to give; not always as rich or impressive as "magnificent".)
