Hey everyone.
It's me Niharika and welcome to a new lesson.
Well, we all want to sound smarter.
Now, today we are gonna look at some fancy words that will take your
vocabulary to a new whole world.
Fancy words may sound a little pompous.

you're trying too hard to use them.
It's important that if you are going to use big words, choose them wisely, you
know, it should just flow with ease.
So here are 10 vocabulary words, which will instantly make you sound smarter.
They're simply fancier.
Mm.
But they're basically talking about these everyday things.
So let's begin.
Well, I have quite an interesting, fancy word for you.

Now, what does this mean?
Well, it means next to the last thing, like, say for example, the letter Y okay.
It's like a second last alphabet.

So next to the last thing is pemultimate how do you use it?
Well, if you are binging a television series and, uh,
say for example, money heist.

penultimate episode or the penultimate.
the next one is definitive definitive.
It means very small.
Now you can use it for an object or for an animal or for a person you are describing
as exceptionally small, tiny, and you wanna use a better alternative word than
the familiar objectives that we generally use, which is tiny, short little.
Okay.
Say.

I have another one for you.
A fancy word that is granular.
Now, granular is finally detailed.
Now this word means the minute or small particles of something.
It can kind of help you to describe a Methodist level
of detail in your own work.
Okay.

care of all the tiny little details.

describe yourself in lot of.
But you wanna sound smart.
You wanna sound intelligent and keep it very brief.
So when you wanna talk about how your friend replied to her Tinder prospect
with a brief, clever and forceful remark, you can say, well, she was pretty.

Well, that means a brief rigorous comment.
Now here's my favorite one that I use it more often, which is despondent.
Despondent means hopelessness or in low spirits now because of the
COVID situation, a lot of people have gone through a lot of stress
and have been in low spirit.
Right.
It has, I mean, it has really taken a toll on you.
So use the fancier word to indicate your hopelessness.
That is despondent.
Here's another one that I use it often, which is the word lucid, which
means clear and easy to understand.
I mean, there's no confusion.
The thought is pretty clear and easily understandable.
For example, are my lessons lucid enough for you?
Like, do you understand me?
Am I clear when I try to teach you so you can use the word that NCA's
lessons are pretty lucid, which means that they're easy to understand.
They're pretty clear and there's no room for confusion.

That is efferent.
Effervescent is for a person who is always very bubbly, very enthusiastic, you know,
someone who is always happy, go lucky.
Well, that's the word that you can use effervescent.
So if you know someone who is always super excited, very bubbly, well, effervescent
is the fancier word that you can.
Now last evening, I had a terrible headache.
Oh my God.
It was hurting so bad.
And for which I had to take a painkiller, which kind of helped
to reduce it now, rather than using the word to reduce my headache.
Another fancy word that you can use is abate.
So abate means to reduce or to.
So when you wanna talk about the pain from your nagging headache, which is
finally kind of fading away, going away, that's the right word that you can use.
That is a bait, a bait means to reduce, but using it will
increase your fancy vocabulary.
Penultimate next to the last thing tive.

to your friends or family.
