NUANCE

Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin, everyone and happy Friday. I hope you have had a great week.

Today's word is: nuance

It means: a slight difference in the quality of something that may be difficult to notice but is important. This word is similar in meaning to the Spanish word matiz.

Example 1: Carlos started noticing (fijarse en) the nuances of English by watching many films in original version.

Example 2: The nuances in the description are difficult to understand if you haven't done any previous research.

Example 3: A good translator is immediately able to translate the subtle nuances of meaning in a language.

⇒ To get some writing practice in English, I encourage you to write your own sentence with today's word. You can post your sentence to one of our social media sites (Facebook or Bluesky) and we will give you feedback about your writing as soon as we can.

Have a great day and an excellent weekend!
