I don't understand how I can use 'largess' in a sentence properly.
It means giving of gifts(generously).
So could I just say: There is a large amount of largess at holiday times?
it doesnt' sound right
Google largess. You'll find many ideas.
i did. thank you
To use the word "largess" properly in a sentence, you are correct in its meaning as the act of giving gifts generously. However, the word "largess" is generally used in the context of an individual or an organization giving or bestowing gifts or benefits upon others. Here's a corrected sentence example: "The wealthy businessman showed great largess by donating a large sum of money to the local charity."
It is important to note that "largess" typically refers to the act of giving rather than the quantity or abundance of gifts. So, the phrase "There is a large amount of largess at holiday times" might not be the most appropriate usage of the word. Instead, you could rephrase it, for instance: "During the holiday season, many people demonstrate their largess by giving generously to those in need."
