10 alternatives to “good” and “bad”

[jrineakter]

Hello dear friend! The goal of this video is to help you speak with more clarity and precision. I will teach you 10 words to use instead of "good" and "zero" so that you can vary your vocabulary.

Here we go! We start with five words to use instead of “good.”

First: “remarkable”

It is used to define something that is good in the sense that it has qualities above average, that it is worthy of attention because of its quality.

For example, instead of saying “Mathieu is a good student,” you can say “Mathieu is an outstanding student.”

Both are correct, obviously, but using "remarkable" instead of "good" shows that you have a slightly more advanced level of vocabulary and that you can be much more precise.

Similarly, instead of saying "she's a good tennis player," you can say "she's an outstanding tennis player."

Words that have a meaning israel whatsapp number data close to "remarkable" are "excellent", "formidable", "talented".

A second word you can use instead of "good" is "benevolent." It is mostly used to talk about a person's moral quality. Here, it is to be good in the sense of having good moral quality. We use the word "benevolent" to talk about someone who wants to do good.

For example, instead of saying "he's a good person," you can say "he's a caring person."

The third word that you can use instead of "good" is the word "delicious". We use it especially to talk about a dish, something that we are going to eat and that we find very good, that we find to our taste, we will say that it is "delicious".

For example, instead of saying "your shepherd's pie is good", you can very well say "your shepherd's pie is delicious".

The words “succulent” and “exquisite” are synonyms for “delicious.”

The fourth word you can use instead of "good" is the word "pleasurable." We use it to describe something that gives us a feeling of pleasure.

For example, instead of saying "I wish you a good day," you could say "I wish you a pleasant day." Or, instead of saying "I had a good time with you," you could say "I had a pleasant time with you."

The fifth word you can use instead of "good" is the word "suitable." The word "suitable" means "fitting." It is used to refer to something that is appropriate to the situation we are in.

For example, instead of saying "I'm waiting for the right moment to tell him this news," you could say "I'm waiting for the right moment to tell him this news." Or, instead of saying "Your outfit is not good," you could say "Your outfit is not appropriate."

Alright. You see, you've already learned five words that can be used instead of "good." So, you've already started to build your vocabulary. Now we're going to look at five words that you can use instead of the word "bad."

The first is the word "mediocre." "Mediocre" means "pretty bad." It's used to describe something that's about average or just a little above average.

For example, instead of saying "that show was pretty bad," you can say "that show was mediocre."

Another word that you can use instead of "zero", I invite you to be careful because this word is quite strong and it is very negative, it is the word "pathetic". So, there, it is worse than the word "mediocre". If we say that something is pathetic or someone is pathetic, it means that this thing or this person is zero, has no quality.

For example, you might hear someone say "your cousin is pathetic", which means "he's useless, I don't like him at all".

In the press, sometimes, you can read that people complain about having a lousy salary, that means that they find that their salary is zero, it is insufficient compared to their efforts.

Another word that you can use instead of "zero" is the word "incompetent". This word is used for a person, to show that a person has no skills, this person, in the context of his work, for example, has no quality. Someone who is incompetent is someone who does not have the capacity to carry out a job.

For example, instead of "this waiter is really bad", we can hear "this waiter is incompetent", he does not have the skills to serve in a cafe or a restaurant.

The word "zero" can sometimes be replaced by the word "boring." Something boring is something that bores us, is not interesting, or even makes us want to sleep.

Instead of saying "this movie sucked", you can say "this movie was boring". This means "I didn't like it, I almost fell asleep".

I hope you won't say today's video was boring.

And finally, the last word I wanted to teach you today, a word you can use instead of "sucks", is the word "shameful". We use it to talk about an action or behavior that is not good at all and that should make us ashamed.
