We all have certain verbal fillers in our vocabulary which we can’t let go of. They subconsciously creep in the middle of an otherwise perfectly coherent sentence making it sound hackneyed and repetitive. ‘Very’ is one of those overused words. Here are 15 alternatives you can use instead of very.
1. Very pretty
How about ‘beautiful’?
2. Very accurate
Or should we say, ‘exact’?
3. Very perfect
The word you’re looking for is ‘flawless’.
4. Very scared
Let’s try ‘petrified’ instead?
5. Very smelly
That could be ‘pungent’!
6. Very tight
‘Constricting’ is a better word in this case.
7. Very valuable
That’s what the word ‘precious’ means!
8. Very well-to-do
That’s ‘wealthy’ for you.
9. Very talented
‘Gifted’ should do.
10. Very painful
Or is it ‘excruciating’?
11. Very old
We think, the word you are looking for is ‘ancient’.
12. Very nervous
Or, even better, ‘apprehensive’.
13. Very loud
‘Deafening’ is the word you’re looking for!
14. Very large
You mean, ‘huge’, right?
15. Very fancy
You could also say ‘lavish’.
