用法筆記

Often used with intensifying adverbs like 'absolutely,' 'truly,' or 'quite.' Avoid pairing with 'very' — the word already carries a strong meaning.

常見錯誤

❌The weather was very splendid today.
✅The weather was absolutely splendid today.
💡'Splendid' is a strong adjective and sounds unnatural with weak intensifiers like 'very.' Use 'absolutely' or 'truly' instead.
❌I had a splendidly time at the party.
✅I had a splendid time at the party.
💡'Splendidly' is an adverb; use the adjective form 'splendid' before a noun.
