How it's used

Describes a state of being alert, refreshed, or having a healthy, glowing appearance. It is frequently used to comment on someone's appearance after a good night's sleep or when they seem particularly lively. Unlike simply saying someone is happy, it specifically highlights their physical and mental vitality.

Common phrases

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe someone who is merely excited or hyperactive, as it implies a sense of healthy alertness rather than just high energy levels. It is also not used to describe the quality of a spirit or ghost.
