HELP I NEED GOOD VOCABULARY WORDS!!! does anyone know any good words that instantly spruce up your speaking?

Question

maybe words that are commony found on the sat for example!

Answer 1

Who are you trying to impress here, little lady?

Just be yourself!

Trying to pretend to be, imitate or emulate someone that you're not isn't exactly a smart thing to do, you know.

Kinda defeats the purpose, so to speak.

Good luck to you!

Answer 2

As an Articulate person, I am inclined to Enlighten you. Intelligent word usage is a wonderful way to stimulate an otherwise ordinary dialogue. However, I would be Remiss if I did not point out that proper terms and usage of said words must be imparted grammatically correct otherwise,,,,,,,,,,,,,what's the use.
A few well placed words, instead of a long torrent of them is far more enticing - that just becomes a tedious tête-à-tête, or you might look like a pretentious snob.
DID I THROUGH IN ENOUGH WORDS YET?
Have fun - use your Microsoft Word!

Answer 3

hmm, it is impossible to immediately attain a high standard of speaking. it takes practice and lots of reading. you can sign up for a-new-vocab-word-a-day from any of the online dictionary websites. it will help :)

but what kind of vocab words do you classify as "good?" does it have to be positive? or does it need to replace ordinary words? or does it have to be profound? i can give you some words for a start...

positive--captivated, ecstatic, convivial, consummate, explicit, irrefutable, congenial, exceptional, inculpable, exquisite, meritorious, transcendent, pristine, resplendent, etc.

replace ordinary words--very (absolutely, emphatically, extensively, etc.), good (admirable, commendable, satisfactory, etc.), nice (cordial, considerate, prepossessing, etc.), so (supposed, alleged, purported, etc.), etc.

profound--acroamatic, hermetic, esoteric, perfunctory, parsimonious, diminutive, picayune, aphoristic, breviloquent, decurtate, orbiculate, bulbous, complanate, procumbent, etc.

ok, i hope you've had some ideas from what i've given you :)

a dictionary and a thesaurus can always come in handy when you want a better word but can't think of it :D

Answer 4

Instead of saying "I need alot of money"
You can say "I need a abundance amount of money"

OR instead of saying "I'm not very talkative tonight"
You can say "I'm not very Loquacious tonight"
And look up everyday words in the thersaurus on dictionary.com and it will help.
I'm taking the sat's and I try to use a calendar Thats has a "word of the day" on it. Which means I try to use a new word everyday. Even though I dont know what It means I put it on the list and I try to say it that day. It just gets implanted in your head.
