magnifique
Gorgeous in Paris
Magnifique is French for magnificent or wonderful, borrowed into English as an intensified expression of admiration or approval: The view from the terrace? Magnifique!
It carries a theatrical, Continental flair that plain English alternatives lack, often used with ironic sophistication or genuine delight.
