Do you remember where the quote comes from: "Not a single leaf moved, not a single sound disturbed the majestic meditation of nature"? No, this is not Mikhail Mikhailovich Prishvin and not Vitaly Valentinovich Bianchi. Who? Mark Twain and his world famous "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer".
The following question immediately arises: "What is "dignified?". This, of course, is an adjective. What does it mean, and can its meaning be conveyed in other words (synonyms)? Let's consider it below in the article.
Great is…
From the first glance at the adjective, it becomes clear that it is a paronym (words that are similar in sound, spelling and morphemic composition, but partially differ lexically, due to which they can be mistakenly used) to the word "great".
Great is:
- Inspiring respect, admiration: "The majestic dark cedars made me shudderenemies of the Russian army".
- Tall, with good posture: "The peasant woman was poorly dressed, but stately and stately."
Great: Synonyms
Next question. Almost every adjective in Russian can have one or even several synonyms. "Great" is no exception:
- Important: "The bride was so important that the guests became a little funny."
- Impressive: "The imposing appearance of it left no doubt about the importance of the event."
- Senior: "A sedate lady stepped out of the carriage".
- Impact: "Who is this - imposing?".
- Royal: "The beggar woman approached the judge with a regal gait."
- Proud: "How can you be humble and proud at the same time?".
- Majestic: "The old and small guerrillas were greeted by majestic pines and firs."
- Prominent: "Your prominent girl is growing".
- Possessive: "The plump, portly woman screamed so that the horses suffered."
- Big: "A big event coming up next weekend."
- Solemn: "The priests went to their deaths with solemn steps, even idle onlookers froze in mute reverence."
Examples of adjective usage
This is not a secret for a long time - the lexical meaning of any word and the subtleties of its use in oral and written speech are more expressive in the context of phrases and sentences. So, "majestic" -this is…
- The stately, slightly theatrical pose that the young man adopted spoke of his fear and self-doubt.
- The lady's pale face was majestic and stern.
- The ancient majestic monastery has already forgotten what a person looks like.
- Don't marry a majestic, proud beauty, with an ordinary girl you will be much more comfortable and warmer.
- Despite the extreme degree of excitement, the prince walked with his head held high, his step was majestic and sedate.
