Question

Extremely vs Absolutely
You really should go to Nambia. The scenery is ______________ stunning and the people are very friendly.

How are 'extremely' and 'absolutely' different in that sentence?

Thanks a lot.

Answer

extremely = more is still possible
absolutely = the maximum; more is not possible

We use "absolutely" with strong adjectives.

Answer

"Absolutely" in the context means that you know without a doubt that the scenery is stunning and you know that whomever you are speaking to will think so as well.
"Extremely" in the context means that you believe that the scenery is very stunning. In the context, you are using it to emphasize how stunning the scenery is. The other person may not think so but to you, it is.
