EPONYMOUS ADJECTIVES | Advanced Vocabulary You Probably Don't Know

[@lollylolly4821]

Hello from France! I learned a lot of vocabulary! A very interesting video! Thank you, Wes!

[@InteractiveEng]

Thanks Lolly. Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you learned some new words. 😊

[@ikuo-sunrise7375]

Hi！Wes. I've been enjoying your lessons for about a year． The graduation season is in now here in Japan．Many students are leaving from their schools with tears．Cherry blossoms will bloom in a week．Spring fever is just around the corner． I was able to know the meaning of the word ‘ Herculean ’ by chance just only a week ago．Getting your lesson was the good opportunity to know much about the meaning and usage about the word．Studying English can be challenging but I hope it's not a Herculean task．I can hardly wait your next lesson．Have a good one！ Ikuo Suenaga from Nagasaki，Japan．

It may sound a freudian slip but this is something I am saying in all my consciousness that your English is not Shakespearean nor It's Dostoevskian but the kind of herculean effort you pour in your videos is just incredible. You reek neither of chauvinism nor of making a faustian bargain and even in this Darwinian era you entrust us with such gem of videos. You are just a Hagriddian to the Potters like us ❤

I already knew most of these words, and their link to the characters or personages who gave them origin, but I didn't know they are called "eponymous" nor the real meaning of most of the adjectives/ nouns. So, I can say that I have learnt something new. ;-)

Great video, but it didn’t answer my question. For a given last name, such as mine, how would you choose the adjective ending? Skousenian or Skousenic? Einstenian v. Aaronic

[@VickiBee]

From Gustav, Faust in German is fist: die Faust, die Fäusten. The fist, the fists. When you learn a noun in German you learn it gender (der, die or das) and it plural form. Vicki and I looked up more words. I learned Machiavellian from it. I could make up one of my own but it wouldn't be a pleasant one, so I'll refrain from it. I will say this: Chris Watts is making a FAUSTIAN BARGAIN now and has been doing so for a year. I wouldn't be surprised if, because of what he's doing now, he some day becomes the devil with whom you make the Fastian deal.--Vicki PS-Shanann Watts was a Facebook friend. Well, I was with her but I think I make my point.

[@InteractiveEng]

Hi Gustav. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. Machiavellian is another great example. I actually have that on my list which I was saving for a follow up lesson in the future. 👍
