ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Laudative

Okay, kiddo, so "laudative" is a big word. Let me try to explain it to you in simpler terms.

Have you ever heard someone say nice things about someone else? Like, "Sarah is really good at drawing," or "Max is really kind to his friends"? Well, when we say nice things about someone, we're giving them a compliment.

And when we give someone a lot of compliments, we're being "laudative." It means we're saying a lot of really nice things to make someone feel good.

Have you ever given someone a high five or a pat on the back to make them feel proud of themselves? That's like being laudative too. We're trying to make someone feel good and happy about themselves.

Does that make sense, kiddo?
