☆ imaginative 想像力のある
============================
If you describe someone or their ideas as imaginative, you admire them because they are easily able to create new or exciting things. For example:
She is an imaginative writer.
There are many imaginative recipes on the Internet.
My boss needs to adopt a more imaginative approach to running our department!
There is a similar word, “imaginary”, however this word describes something that only exists in your (or someone’s) imagination, not in real life. For example, a child might have an “imaginary friend” (a friend that is not real) whereas if they have an “imaginative friend” they have a friend who is good at forming ideas of new and exciting things. Don’t get them confused… I have an imaginary boss versus I have an imaginative boss… very different meanings!
