I’m new here but is this solely a group on vocabulary or at here sub branches like etymological meaning and etc ?

Does anyone know any apps or websites that introduce a wide range of beautiful, 'fancy' vocabulary that you probably don't ever hear anyone use in this time and age? Like words that were used all the way in early times, to words now.

The dictionary won't work, because say for example i want a different word to use other than 'pretty', or 'beautiful' then i would have to comb through every single word in a probably thousand page book or app, instead of knowing the meaning of what i'm looking for, and just a new word to say it.

What would be some other phrases for this concept?

• realistic
• Relaxed
• has fair judgement

Etc

Like davy jones and jack frost aren't real people rather concepts that are giving human names.

Jak frost personifying winter, cold and snow And davy jones personifying the abyssal of the ocean

Is there a word to describe this specific group of words?

Hi everyone! I am looking for fun games to play with my 10-yr old son to help him expand his vocabulary. He loves reading but sometimes I think he doesn’t always understand what he reads or doesn’t put the words into practice that he discovers while reading. Any advice?

Thank you!

Hi everyone I’m new to the page. I was wondering if anyone has some good recommendations that I can start to use consistently every day to learn new vocabulary words. Such as a YouTube channels or if there’s any free apps out there, please get back to me!

Hi r/vocabulary friends!

I’ve been working hard on an app called WordForge that helps people expand their vocabulary in a meaningful way. I just put together a short intro video to show how it works, and I’d love for you to check it out! https://youtu.be/q0KvKaOZbzk

Link to the project: WordForge

WordForge uses a mix of AI feedback and spaced repetition to help you really master new words. If you’re looking to improve your vocabulary or learn how to use words more naturally, I think you’ll enjoy it!

Thanks for taking a look—your thoughts and feedback would mean the world to me!

For example reading a book is mind consuming, it leaves no space for other thoughts.

What is the opposite of that, i.e. an activity that leaves space for thoughts. But not necessarily encourages them like 'thought-provoking' would imply.

I struggle with forgetting certain vocabulary words that I know but just can’t recall in the moment. This also applies to my writing.

I’m struggling with figuring out if you are able to be “precautious” about something but not “fear” what you are cautioning. Must there be “fear” involved in “precaution”?

is there any dictionary or dictionary and thesaurus(even better) learners book with literal,non phonetic or IPA pronunciation guide. similar to google if you type whats the pronounciation of a certain words. like this >> "contemperary" - pronounced as: kuhn·tem·pr·eh·ree. i swear i have a dictionary book like this when i was a child. but im not sure if its childrens dictionary or general. Thanks

Why is ungodly meant as great? As in, “they put ungodly numbers.” Wouldn’t godly mean “god-like”?

I remember playing it years ago as kid.

An app that focuses on useful, modern vocabulary rather than stuff like “apricity”?

Is there a term for a vehicle(such as a quadricycle)that you can lay down in while pedaling?

I encountered the word in Frederick Rolfe's Hadrian the Seventh. I'm guessing it's an archaic form of "mundanity" but can't find any direct information on "mundity" online. Is anyone familiar with this word?

In context: "...the corridor where the rector had made coarse jests about His mundity to obsequious grinners...."

My friend was telling me that i have very annoying traits that are also simultaneously very impressive. What word in the English language exists that describes this exact phenomenon?

I haven’t read a book front to back in my entire life. I’m an artistic/ creative type and will not read unless I absolutely have to. I have seen some advertisements for flash card type apps that mix related words together. Had anybody used anything like this that’s worth the money? Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks.
