It's here! The big day has arrived - Christmas Eve! Whether it's an extravagant date with the one you love, attending a gala Christmas concert, or sharing a scrumptious cake with your family, everything will be extra special tonight. And that's what today's WordMaster is all about!
- Something, such as a dress or greeting card, is fancy if it is not plain or simple, but highly decorated.
Fancy can also mean high quality or luxurious and (usually) more expensive than ordinary. - 何か（ドレスやグリーティングカードなど）が、地味でシンプルではなく、飾りがたくさんついている場合に fancy という表現を使います。
fancy には、質がいい、高級だ、という意味もあります。（たいていは）普通のものよりも高価です。
- The child's Christmas present was wrapped in fancy paper with a fancy bow, but inside there was only a new pair of socks.
