☆  delighted   喜んで

============================

If you are delighted you are very pleased and excited about something. For example, He was delighted with his achievement. Or, She was delighted to meet his parents. When you want to emphasize things, then usually you would use very, extremely, fairly, quite, or almost. However, with delighted, it’s not grammatically correct to use these words. So, instead, try using “absolutely” or even simply “so”.

For example:

She was so delighted to finally meet him.
I’m absolutely delighted to see you!
He was so delighted to receive your letter.
Mom will be absolutely delighted that you can come home for Thanksgiving.

I was so delighted that our local farmer’s market now sells bitter melon! (Goya) (True story!)

Can you use delighted in a sentence?

Bye,

Chris
