Interpretation: Ezekiel's list of Tyre's trade is read as a picture of its wealth and pride, which would not save it from falling. In the primary lessons: In everyday life it is an enthusiastic word for lovely views, food, clothes, babies and pets. In stories it describes beautiful places and people. In descriptive writing it is a stronger word than «pretty» or «nice». Phrases: gorgeous view, absolutely gorgeous, look gorgeous.
