exuberante

exuberant

adjective ehk-soo-beh-RAHN-teh Rare

Origin: from Latin exuberans, present participle of exuberare (to overflow)

Also means

lush

Usage Note

Exuberante describes something overflowing with abundance — a lush jungle, an ebullient personality, or lavish ornamentation. It does not change for gender (una selva exuberante / un paisaje exuberante) but pluralizes as exuberantes. Learners should not confuse it with exagerado (exaggerated); exuberante carries a positive, vital connotation of natural abundance.

Examples

"La vegetación exuberante cubre toda la montaña."

Natural Translation

The lush vegetation covers the entire mountain.
