Jaw-dropping

This is a fun adjective!
It means that something was
really amazing, but it has
the nuance that it was
also surprising!!!

In other words, it was
so amazing that you
were completely surprised!!



Have you ever seen someone
so surprised that their mouth
fell open??

Your jaw bone is the bottom
part of your mouth. This is
why the adjective is called
jaw-dropping!



"The fair was jaw-dropping."

"Brazil was really a jaw-dropping experience."

"When I saw her art, my jaw dropped!"





Awe-struck is very similar!!!
畏敬の念に打たれた


For those of you who take my class,
jaw-dropping is a giver and awe-struck is a receiver!
