Max Miller :
It's more of a cultural thing, right? Advertising being one dimension of that of course. "Awesome" used to hold that kind of depth.

I read an interesting article that argued that English as it’s become the lingua franca has become less layered; so fluency can be easily attained

See but unironically “awesome” is a beautiful superlative but it’s the repeated colloquial usage in daily life that strips it of the grandiose feelin

In English these words Did mean similar things - “awesome” as in awe-inspiring, “great”, “sublime” - you’ll find them in Gothic writing

helps when you use somewhat archaic or obscure words like exalted, supernal, transcendent. Trade in some easy readability for less spoiled connotation

This reminds me of when I try to translate certain words in Spanish but bc Spanish is way more passionate it doesn’t have the same meaning in English

this reminds me of the latin “mirabile dictu/visu” lit. “wonder to say/behold.” holds much more of a religious/spiritual connotation than in english

could there be words from old english or even english from like 200-300 years ago that we don’t use anymore that would be closer in meaning?

Also I feel like professionalism is the antithesis of sentimentality, which is what modern English really functions for.

Such an interesting dialogue and so many layers! I agree there is so much depth to words in other languages compared to English.

first arabic translations of “awesome” and “great” that come to mind feel like advertising words - عجيب، ممتاز - reminds me of a commercial

That’s so interesting, I’m a native Georgian speaker which is also a very old language and I always think how gramatically correct sentences are 1/3

Would you please recommend some Sufi Poets? I've loved Mevlana/Rumi since I was a teen but I'm not familiar with any other Sufi writers.

This is something I think about often but don’t have the knowledge to further elaborate on. I feel like advertising has made language meaningless too
