Significado
Expressing strong approval, admiration, or enthusiasm.
Contexto cultural
Praise is often communal. When you say 'هذا عظيم', others might join in with 'الحمد لله' (Praise be to God). The word 'Azama' (Greatness) is used as a noun to describe high-quality things, especially music (like Umm Kulthum). While 'Azeem' is used, you will often hear 'Bijannin' (It drives one crazy - with beauty/greatness) as a more passionate alternative. 'Al-Azeem' is a name of God. Using the adjective for human things is fine, but it always carries a hint of 'ultimate' quality.
Use it for People
You can call a person 'شخص عظيم' (a great person) to show deep respect for their character.
Watch the 'Z'
Don't pronounce 'Azeem' with a light 'z' like in 'zebra'. It must be the heavy 'ظ'.
