Connotations are a feeling or idea that is suggested by a particular word. They give us the emotional connection with words.
Words can be split into 'negative','positive' and 'neutral' connotations.
Examples:
cheap / thrifty
cheap - (negative) a person who hates to spend money.
thrifty - (positive) a person who is very careful with money.
young / youthful / childish
young - (neutral) a person who is of a young age.
youthful - (positive) a person who may not be young, but has all the good qualities of youth.
childish - (negative) a person who behaves like a child in a negative way.
thin / slim / skinny
thin - (neutral) a body size that is the opposite of 'fat'.
slim - (positive) used to describe an attractive body shape which is 'thin'.
skinny - (negative) to be too thin.
