remark
Transitive VerbIntransitive Verb[C/U] Both
pl: remarkspast: remarkedpp: remarkeding: remarking
This word carries a sense of observation and detachment. It is less emotional than a statement and less formal than a declaration. A remark is often a spontaneous reaction to something noticed in the environment, suggesting a brief, outward expression of a thought. In social contexts, the word can shift toward criticism. While a remark can be neutral, describing something as a sharp or cutting remark implies a targeted, often unkind, observation intended to prick the listener's ego.
Countable when referring to a specific comment made by a person. Uncountable when referring to the general act of commenting.
