解説 meraviglioso in your Level:

At the A1 level, you should learn 'meraviglioso' as a high-level version of 'bello' (beautiful). It's a great word to have in your 'expressive toolkit' to show you are excited. Think of it as 'very, very good.' You will mostly use it in simple sentences like 'Il gelato è meraviglioso' (The ice cream is wonderful) or 'L'Italia è meravigliosa' (Italy is wonderful). At this stage, focusing on the basic gender agreement is key. If the thing you are talking about ends in -o, use 'meraviglioso.' If it ends in -a, use 'meravigliosa.' Don't worry too much about the plural forms yet, but start noticing them. This word will help you sound more enthusiastic and less repetitive than just using 'bello' all the time. It's an easy way to impress Italian speakers with your growing vocabulary.

By A2, you are starting to describe your experiences, such as holidays, weekend trips, and family events. 'Meraviglioso' becomes a vital word for these descriptions. You should now be comfortable using the plural forms: 'I musei sono meravigliosi' (The museums are wonderful) and 'Le vacanze sono state meravigliose' (The holidays were wonderful). You can also start using the word with the past tense (passato prossimo) of the verb 'essere.' For example, 'È stato un giorno meraviglioso' (It was a wonderful day). At this level, you are also learning to place the adjective after the noun in most cases, which is the natural position for 'meraviglioso.' It’s a perfect word for postcards, simple emails, or telling a friend about a movie you saw.

At the B1 level, 'meraviglioso' moves beyond just physical beauty. You can use it to describe abstract concepts, ideas, and people's qualities. You might say 'È un'idea meravigliosa' (It's a wonderful idea) or 'Lui è una persona meravigliosa' (He is a wonderful person). You should also begin to notice how the position of the adjective can change the emphasis. 'Un meraviglioso viaggio' sounds a bit more poetic and personal than 'Un viaggio meraviglioso.' You are now expected to use the word accurately in more complex sentence structures, including those with conjunctions like 'perché' or 'anche se.' You can also start comparing it with other adjectives like 'stupendo' or 'eccezionale' to avoid repetition in your speaking and writing.

At the B2 level, you should have a nuanced understanding of 'meraviglioso.' You understand that it implies a sense of wonder ('meraviglia') and is stronger than 'bello' or 'piacevole.' You can use it in formal contexts, such as a business letter to thank someone for a 'meravigliosa ospitalità' (wonderful hospitality), or in more creative writing to set a mood. You should be able to use it fluently in the subjunctive mood, for example: 'Credo che sia un posto meraviglioso' (I believe it is a wonderful place). At this level, you should also be aware of related words like the verb 'meravigliarsi' (to be amazed) and the noun 'meraviglia' (wonder). You can use 'meraviglioso' to express irony in specific contexts, though this requires a high level of cultural awareness.

For C1 learners, 'meraviglioso' is a tool for sophisticated expression. You can analyze its use in literature and film, understanding how it evokes the 'sublime' or the 'marvelous.' You should be able to use it in diverse registers, from academic discussions about art to deep personal reflections. You might explore the etymological connection to the Latin 'mirabilia' and how that history informs its current usage. In your own production, you should use 'meraviglioso' sparingly and effectively, choosing it over synonyms like 'magnifico' or 'sublime' based on the precise emotional tone you wish to convey. You should also be comfortable with idiomatic expressions and the word's role in the 'colloquial-emphatic' style of modern Italian.

At the C2 level, you possess a native-like grasp of 'meraviglioso.' You understand its placement in the history of the Italian language and its resonance in the works of great poets. You can use the word with total precision, perhaps even playing with its placement and agreement for rhetorical effect. You are aware of its frequency in different regional dialects and how its usage might vary slightly across the peninsula. You can engage in complex debates about the nature of the 'meraviglioso' in Baroque art or Renaissance literature. Your use of the word is no longer just about communication; it's about style, tone, and the subtle manipulation of meaning. You can use it to create complex layers of irony, nostalgia, or genuine awe in your speech and writing.

meraviglioso 30秒で

A high-intensity adjective meaning 'wonderful' or 'marvelous,' used to express deep admiration.
Requires gender and number agreement: meraviglioso, meravigliosa, meravigliosi, meravigliose.
Stronger than 'bello' and often used for nature, art, and significant life events.
Rooted in 'meraviglia' (wonder), it conveys a sense of being struck by beauty or excellence.

The Italian word meraviglioso is an adjective that transcends the simple English 'wonderful' or 'great.' It is rooted in the concept of meraviglia (wonder), which suggests a state of being struck by something so beautiful, unexpected, or grand that it leaves the observer in a state of awe. In the Italian linguistic landscape, using meraviglioso is not just a statement of quality; it is an emotional outpouring. It is used when a person is genuinely moved by the aesthetic or spiritual quality of an object, a person, or a situation.

Emotional Resonance: Unlike 'bello' (beautiful), which can be used casually for a nice pair of shoes or a decent meal, 'meraviglioso' is reserved for things that truly inspire admiration. It is the word you use when you see the Sistine Chapel for the first time or when you witness an act of profound kindness.
Frequency and Social Context: In social settings, Italians use this word to express enthusiastic agreement or to compliment a host. If you are invited to a dinner and the atmosphere is perfect, calling the evening 'meraviglioso' shows deep appreciation and sophisticated vocabulary.

Abbiamo passato un fine settimana meraviglioso sulle rive del Lago di Como.

The word is highly versatile but must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. You will see it as meraviglioso (masculine singular), meravigliosa (feminine singular), meravigliosi (masculine plural), and meravigliose (feminine plural). This agreement is crucial for sounding natural in Italian.

È una notizia meravigliosa! Non vedo l'ora di festeggiare con voi.

Artistic and Literary Use: In Italian literature, from Dante to modern novelists, 'meraviglioso' often describes the supernatural or the divine. It is the 'marvelous' in the sense of something that defies the laws of nature or common expectation. When you use it to describe a landscape, you are subtly nodding to this history of awe-inspiring beauty.

Il soffitto della chiesa era decorato con affreschi meravigliosi.

Hai fatto un lavoro meraviglioso con l'organizzazione dell'evento.

Queste rose hanno un profumo meraviglioso.

Mastering the use of meraviglioso requires an understanding of Italian adjective syntax and gender agreement. As a qualitative adjective, its primary role is to describe a noun by adding an emotional layer of excellence or beauty. The most important rule to remember is that the ending of the word must change to match the noun it refers to. This is a common stumbling block for English speakers, as English adjectives are static.

The Four Forms: 1. Masculine Singular: Il ragazzo meraviglioso. 2. Feminine Singular: La ragazza meravigliosa. 3. Masculine Plural: I ragazzi meravigliosi. 4. Feminine Plural: Le ragazze meravigliose. Notice how the final vowel changes consistently with the noun.

Guardate quel panorama meraviglioso dalla cima della montagna!

Positioning is another key aspect. In Italian, adjectives usually follow the noun. 'Un libro meraviglioso' is the standard way to say 'A wonderful book.' However, placing meraviglioso before the noun—'Un meraviglioso libro'—shifts the focus from the book itself to the speaker's emotional reaction to it. It makes the sentence sound more subjective, lyrical, or emphatic. This is particularly common in storytelling or when giving a heartfelt compliment.

Usage with 'Essere': The word is frequently used with the verb 'essere' (to be) to make a statement. 'Il viaggio è stato meraviglioso' (The trip was wonderful). In this construction, the adjective still must agree with the subject of the sentence.

Le tue parole sono state meravigliose e mi hanno aiutato molto.

Ho visto un film meraviglioso ieri sera al cinema all'aperto.

In exclamation, the word often stands alone or with 'che' (what a). 'Che meraviglioso!' or simply 'Meraviglioso!' are common reactions to good news, a beautiful sight, or a great performance. This use is highly expressive and common in spoken Italian.

È un'idea meravigliosa, dovremmo farlo più spesso!

Ieri abbiamo mangiato in un ristorante meraviglioso vicino al porto.

To truly understand meraviglioso, you must look at how it permeates Italian culture, from the high arts to the most casual street conversations. It is a word that encapsulates the Italian 'joie de vivre' and the appreciation for beauty that is so central to the national identity. You will hear it in various contexts, each carrying a slightly different weight of enthusiasm.

In Music and Pop Culture: One of the most famous examples is the song 'Meraviglioso' by Domenico Modugno (and later covered by the band Negramaro). The lyrics celebrate the simple but profound beauty of life—the sun, the sea, the love of a woman. Hearing this song helps learners understand that the word is about gratitude for existence itself.

Ma guarda intorno a te che doni ti hanno fatto: ti hanno regalato il mondo... meraviglioso!

In the world of Italian tourism and travel, the word is ubiquitous. Tour guides use it to describe the historical monuments, and travelers use it to describe their experiences. If you visit a vineyard in Tuscany or a coastal village in Puglia, you are likely to hear someone exclaim about the 'vista meravigliosa' or the 'vino meraviglioso.' It is the ultimate positive descriptor for the Italian experience.

In Cinema and Television: Italian directors often use the word in titles or dialogue to evoke a sense of magical realism or intense beauty. For example, the Italian title of the classic film 'It's a Wonderful Life' is 'La vita è meravigliosa.' This highlights how the word is the direct equivalent of 'wonderful' in a cinematic, storytelling sense.

È stato un viaggio meraviglioso che non dimenticherò mai.

Il concerto di ieri sera è stato semplicemente meraviglioso.

Everyday Social Interactions: When an Italian friend tells you about their new baby or a promotion, responding with 'Ma è meraviglioso!' shows that you are sharing in their joy. It is a word of connection and empathy, signaling that you recognize the importance and beauty of the event they are sharing.

Che meravigliosa sorpresa vederti qui!

Abbiamo ricevuto dei regali meravigliosi per il nostro matrimonio.

While meraviglioso is a rewarding word to use, English speakers often encounter a few specific hurdles. Because the word is so expressive, there is a tendency to treat it like its English counterparts, but Italian grammar and cultural norms dictate a more precise approach. Avoiding these common pitfalls will help you sound more like a native speaker and less like a translation software.

Agreement Errors: The most frequent mistake is failing to change the ending to match the gender and number of the noun. Beginners often use 'meraviglioso' as a default for everything. Remember: 'una casa meravigliosa' (not meraviglioso) and 'i fiori meravigliosi' (not meraviglioso).

Sbagliato: Abbiamo visto delle spiagge meraviglioso. Corretto: Abbiamo visto delle spiagge meravigliose.

Another mistake involves the intensity of the word. English speakers often say 'it's very wonderful.' In Italian, meraviglioso is already at the top of the intensity scale. Using 'molto' (very) or 'troppo' (too) with it can sound unnatural or redundant. If you want to add more weight, use adverbs like 'assolutamente' (absolutely) or simply let the word stand on its own with the right intonation.

Overuse in Mundane Contexts: In English, 'wonderful' is often used as a filler word or a polite acknowledgment (e.g., 'That's wonderful, thanks'). In Italian, using 'meraviglioso' for something trivial like getting a parking spot or a standard cup of coffee can sound sarcastic or overly dramatic. Reserve it for things that actually evoke wonder.

È un'esperienza meravigliosa vivere in Italia per un anno.

Questi quadri sono meravigliosi, chi è l'artista?

Confusion with 'Miracoloso': Though they share a common root, 'meraviglioso' (wonderful) and 'miracoloso' (miraculous) are not interchangeable. 'Miracoloso' is strictly for things that are perceived as miracles (often religious or medical). Using 'miracoloso' to describe a sunset would be technically incorrect unless you believe it was a literal miracle.

Hai avuto un'idea meravigliosa per il progetto.

È un posto meraviglioso per rilassarsi.

Italian is a language rich in synonyms, and while meraviglioso is a fantastic word, knowing when to use its alternatives will make your Italian more precise and varied. Each synonym carries a slightly different 'flavor' or register, allowing you to tailor your expression to the specific type of beauty or excellence you are describing.

Stupendo vs. Meraviglioso: 'Stupendo' is very close to 'meraviglioso' and often used interchangeably. However, 'stupendo' (from 'stupore') implies a sense of being stunned or dazed by beauty. It’s slightly more common in everyday speech for things that are visually striking.
Magnifico: 'Magnifico' (magnificent) leans more towards grandeur and nobility. It is the perfect word for describing grand architecture, a majestic mountain range, or a truly impressive achievement. It sounds slightly more formal than 'meraviglioso'.
Splendido: 'Splendido' (splendid) is often used to describe weather ('una splendida giornata') or people who are radiant and kind. It has a connotation of light and brightness.

La vista dal balcone era stupenda, ma il giardino era meraviglioso.

For more specific contexts, you might use eccezionale (exceptional) for a performance, incantevole (enchanting) for a charming village, or formidabile (formidable/great) for a skill or talent. Using these words shows that you understand the nuances of the Italian language.

Bello: General beauty (Good/Nice).

Ottimo: High quality/Excellent (Best for food/results).

The 'gli' sound is a single liquid consonant, not two separate sounds.
Using 'meraviglioso' for something very minor. → Ottimo caffè!

ヒント

Agreement is Key

Always check the gender and number of the noun. A common mistake is using 'meraviglioso' for everything. Remember: -o, -a, -i, -e!

Use Emotion

Don't say it like a robot! Italians use 'meraviglioso' with enthusiasm. Let your voice rise and fall to show you really mean it.

Synonym Swap

To sound more advanced, try using 'incantevole' for places and 'magnifico' for buildings, saving 'meraviglioso' for moments and emotions.

The Modugno Connection

Listen to the song 'Meraviglioso' by Domenico Modugno. It's a great way to hear the word in context and understand its cultural weight.

Poetic Placement

In a letter or a story, try putting 'meraviglioso' before the noun to add a touch of elegance: 'Un meraviglioso incontro'.

Master the GLI

Practice words like 'famiglia', 'figlio', and 'meraviglioso' together to get the 'gli' sound consistent.

Don't Overuse

If you use 'meraviglioso' for every small thing, it loses its power. Reserve it for things that truly deserve it.

Listen for the Vowel

In fast speech, the last vowel tells you what the speaker is talking about. Train your ear to catch the -o, -a, -i, or -e.

No 'Molto' Needed

'Meraviglioso' is strong enough on its own. Instead of 'molto meraviglioso', try 'davvero meraviglioso' or 'assolutamente meraviglioso'.

Descriptive Power

Use 'meraviglioso' in your travel journals to capture the feeling of a place, not just its appearance.

語源

Derived from the Italian noun 'meraviglia,' which comes from the Latin 'mirabilia' (strange or wonderful things).

Romance (Latin root).

文化的な背景

The word is entirely positive and safe to use in all contexts.

English speakers might find Italians use 'meraviglioso' more frequently and with more genuine emotion than they use 'wonderful.'

'Meraviglioso' (song by Domenico Modugno) 'La vita è meravigliosa' (Italian title for 'It's a Wonderful Life') 'La Grande Bellezza' (film that explores the theme of wonder)
