Congrats on the feature Dimby! And I am telling you, if you want "be Angry" I am still more than happy(no pun intended) to give it to you, as under your account, it may get featured, too!

Yes, content with the stress on the second syllable means happy. Effervescent is perhaps the biggest stretch here, meaning bubbly and energetic, but I think it works. 😄

I would think content is more akin to satisfied which isn't quite happy.

Well, in French it means happy but I think in English it is closer to satisfied but still, not that unrelated to happy imo

I indeed had a little doubt with content before going for it, I believe it is more "ok with how things are" So comparable to decent versus great.

(You could ofcourse substitute ok with happy in the sentence above "happy with how things are" but imo that is a different happy than actual happy, which is a peak while content is a horizontal line (though above 0, if you were to picture it in a graph)

All that being said it is a positive word, so in my opinion does not needs to go, just showing it is on a slightly different level. It is being pleased, which is a good thing.

i once was looking up the word effervescent for some reason and was surprised how unused it is

There's nothing negative about the word 'effervescent', it has positive connotations on the whole (neutral at worst I'd say).

Thanks! Yes, I was surprised when I saw its definition on a word of the day email, and luckily remembered it to make it one of the trickier words on the list! 😄😄

Well in French « énervé » means « angry », so that is definitely not the hardest word of this list for us, but I understand how tricky it can be.

Well done for this quiz, keep going !

same, in Dutch it means the opposite, though apparently in Belgium it can still have both the negative as well as the positive sense (I might have interpreted it incorrectly though and perhaps only the negative sense is used in Belgium)

Edit and I see in Quebec French it can also mean excited, just as it does in Dutch. Interesting!

Gah! I read "congential" as "congenial'. Took a second to think, and figured: "ok, sure... close enough."

RIP 💀

JetPunk is a positive space. Only happiness here. If you want a sudden death, Orcspel is great at that.

In French, the Mona Lisa, the woman with perhaps the most famous smile in history and easily one of the most disappointing paintings to see in person, is known as la Joconde.

Yeah. Although I contend that she’s only that famous because she was stolen and recovered.

I was down to needing 3 after getting the ones I was certain of, and went to enervated actually expecting it to be correct. The Dutch cognate means excited, so was surprised to see it was incorrect. (I guess getting nervous and therefor weaker, and getting excited and therefor more energetic are closely connected)

Of the three left exultant jocund and buoyant, I would not have guessed buoyant. But I guess it is positive to stay afloat haha.
