extremely good or enjoyable
Very, very good or very enjoyable.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone/something] is fabulous; a fabulous [noun]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "fabulous" in very formal writing (like academic essays), where more neutral words such as "excellent" or "very good" are more appropriate. They may also confuse "fabulous" with "fabled"; "fabulous" in modern everyday English usually means "very good", not "told in stories".

|

|

extremely large or impressive amount
Very, very big or very high in amount, in a way that is almost hard to believe.
استعمال کا انداز:
fabulous [amount/quantity]; fabulous [noun] of [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think "fabulous" here always means emotionally positive. It usually suggests the amount is impressively large, which can be positive (a fabulous salary) or neutral/critical (fabulous prices that are too high).
ہم معنی الفاظ
enormous (Focuses on very large size or amount, without the extra emotional excitement of "fabulous".)
|
immense (Highlights very great size or degree, often slightly more formal.)
|
staggering (Emphasizes that the amount is shockingly or surprisingly large.)
متضاد الفاظ
modest (Describes an amount that is not very large, often purposely small or simple.)
|
small (Directly opposite in terms of size or quantity.)

imaginary, like in myths or fables
Not real, but from stories or old tales, like dragons or magic lands.
استعمال کا انداز:
fabulous [creature/place/kingdom/adventure]
عام غلطی:
Learners often do not know this older, literary sense and assume "fabulous creatures" simply means "very good creatures". In this meaning, "fabulous" is about not being real and existing only in stories.
ہم معنی الفاظ
mythical (Very close in meaning; strongly linked to myths and legends.)
|
legendary (Often suggests both being from legends and being very famous.)
|
imaginary (General word for not real; does not specifically suggest myths or old tales.)
متضاد الفاظ
real (Describes something that actually exists in the world.)
|
historical (Refers to things known from real history, not made-up stories.)
