You can put 'very' before every suggested alternative. What then?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I teach foreign language students and they often write about how their food was "very delicious", and it always sounds so jarring to me. There are a lot of really strong words that native speakers tend to not use very with.

eg:
very difficult task / very monumental task
very good cooking / very superb cooking
very happy man / very elated man

For some reason intensifiers like so and such don't have those restrictions:

The task was very/so monumental.
It was very/such superb cooking.
He was very/so elated.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago

Bring 'fucking' into it and even native speakers say how fucking delicious the food was.

It's funny how it suddenly appears to work with "fucking" but "very" is weird.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

When very then?

Use all the words in the right columns but preceded with "fuckin'" every time. Like a real gentleperson.

Legit criticism! But hear me out. Who remembers all those different words anyway?

Instead of NOT using "very", I say we ONLY use "very".

It's a very idea!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 5 days ago

The veryist of ideas. Bigley very

[–] rompe@lemmy.wtf 2 points 5 days ago

Veraiously?

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Dunno if it is me, non-native English speaker, but it seems that very old can vary depending on context, while ancient barely changes on the context. And it seems few others could be divisive and a few green ticked ones repeat.

Edit: ah, this is shitposting comm :@

Strength and power are different measurements though

Can I interest you in strongful?

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (10 children)

Very cold and freezing are different things. You can be very cold but above 0°.

Most of these are dumb.

No, I like that language is composable. I think it's very convenient. It also allows me to say stuff in a way that's easier to grasp for folks who might not understand English that well. Very dumb suggestion.

[–] Paper_Phrog@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Reads comment. Looks up list. Ah, he means it's a foolish suggestion. Splendid.

[–] CoryCoolguy@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 5 days ago

I prefer "double plus"

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 2 points 5 days ago

idle does equate to very lazy

this was shit when it was on reddit
