epic

Tính từ[C/U] Cả hai

Số nhiều: epics

This term carries a sense of overwhelming magnitude and timelessness. It evokes images of vast landscapes, legendary heroes, and struggles that define an era. When used in a traditional sense, it implies a high level of formality and a focus on destiny or fate. In modern slang, it has shifted toward a hyperbolic expression of excellence or intensity. It is frequently used by younger generations to describe anything impressive or disastrous, moving away from literary heroism toward a general sense of being larger than life.

Countable when referring to a specific literary work like a poem. Uncountable when referring to the general quality of being grand or heroic.
