☆ brilliant 素晴らしい
============================
Today’s word is the informal, spoken English version of the word, “brilliant.” In British English especially, but it is also used in this way in America, when we say something is brilliant we meant that it is very good, or we are very pleased about it. Here are some example sentences:
That is brilliant news! (great or happy news, e.g. Got a new job)
I’m reading a brilliant book at the moment, about …. (great book, interesting story etc.)
You should see that movie, it’s brilliant! (exciting, fun, great movie)
So depending on the context, “He is brilliant” could mean that “he is very intelligent” or “he is a funny, interesting guy.”
