an imaginative [person/idea/solution/story/design]

ہم معنی الفاظ
creative (Broader and more common; focuses on producing original work or ideas, not always with a strong sense of fantasy or vivid inner images.)
متضاد الفاظ

استعمال کا انداز:
imaginative [play/story/world/writing/activity]
عام غلطی:

ہم معنی الفاظ
fantastical (Emphasizes strange, dreamlike, or magical elements; often stronger and more extreme than "imaginative.")
متضاد الفاظ
literal (Focuses only on what is actually real or stated, without inventing extra ideas or worlds.)
