Very compelling
okay real honest question: what is the “very” augmentative / replacement for “compelling” then?
Undeniable?
And what is the “very” of that?
Dunno

Apart from that, there’s honestly a lot that bugs me about it. For the most part though, these are all depending on the use case and would require you to have a relative mastery of english.
A couple are…
Simple and basic can generally be interchanged with each other. There are also times when very simple means something completely different from basic. (eg. chemistry)
As someone mentioned, “very perfect” wouldn’t really be used in the implied sense. It would be more used to convey extreme fragility, in that destruction happens with the slightest problem.
Another one is that you can be very open about your thoughts/feelings, but you wouldn’t necessarily announce them by being transparent.
Yeah this. Deafening is only a better world than “very noisy” in very limited circumstances.
Also, desolate sounds a lot more negative than empty to me. Maybe something like “devoid of […]” might convey more of a similar idea?
Very light implies weight. Luminous isn’t very light.
Are you a linguist?

Very creative!
Such a very perfect comment!
Be careful, the knife is keen!
They are actually more dangerous when tedious.
Are you grave?
You could just replace “very” with “fucking” and get the same results as all the synonyms.
Or how about: " It’s fuckin’ BUSTLIN’ in here"
But then it wouldn’t be a Cool guide
Huh. There are adverbs aside from ‘litchally’?
akshually yes
I have a compelling erection, but it is brief 😞
Incredibly, unbearably, immeasurably, vastly, amazingly, stupidly, etc etc.
I quite like the word very tho it’s a nice word, short, honest, the kind of word you can rely on.
There’s so much noise in that photo, it’s deafening.
so you’re saying very very boring is tedious…
“This lake is profound”
Damn beat me to it
American version -
Super big
Super boring
Super noisy
Super poor
Super creative
Etc etc
“Rich” and “wealthy” are two different things. They’re not interchangeable.
Rich = lot of money Wealthy = lot of money
What is the difference?
Ok. You know how basketball players make a lot of money? They’re rich. The guy that pays them is wealthy.
Rich is having lots of money. Wealthy is having a lot of passive income. In practice, the 2 are similar. A rich person can invest, and so become wealthy. A wealthy person is often rich. It’s possible to only be 1 however. E.g. Someone with a large property portfolio would be wealthy, but not necessarily rich.
This is one of the powers of the English language. We have a ridiculous number of pseudonyms. They have similar meanings, but vary subtly. This allows us to express ideas with a lot more granularity than a lot of other languages.
That’s the thing I find hard in English that one word has so many meaning. also I literally don’t understand English curse words. I mean I can understand that it’s a curse word but can’t exactly get what it means. I don’t know the difference between “f off”, “f over”, “f up” etc.
If you want one to truly make you wimper, look up the poem “the chaos”. 😈
The f word is also stupidly flexible for a single word. It can basically be used in any place in a sentence. "F*** you, you FING Fwit is a clear concise sentence in practical English.
It also doesn’t help that the language gets thoroughly abused. "Literally " meaning both literally and figuratively is one of the more egregious misuses.
As for the question.
“F off” means “go away”.
“Fed over" means you got scammed, taken advantage of, abused, or did really badly. Basically the wrong end of a bad situation. E.g. "Mark quit his job without notice, I got completely fed over doing his work, along with mine.”
“Fed up" means you made a mistake (generally a big one). E.g. "I fed up today. I accidentally knocked over a display of cans at work. It took me hours to restack them.”
