fascinating

Something fascinating is really interesting or captivating, often because it's unusual or surprising.

You might use the word fascinating in everyday conversations when discussing things that catch your attention. For example, if you meet someone who has traveled to a remote and exotic place, like the Amazon rainforest, their stories about living with indigenous people could be fascinating. Maybe they even learned some new skills or had an unusual experience that made them think differently about life. If you listen carefully, it's easy to get sucked into their adventures because what happened is just so captivating.
