Something immense is very big and difficult to measure.

Immense is something very large and, therefore, very difficult to measure or count . This adjective is also used to name that which has no measure or is unlimited or infinite .

For example: “Jacques got lost in the immense desert and feared for his life, until he reached an oasis and his luck changed” , “The Californian team presented its new and immense stadium, with capacity for 60,000 spectators” , “I feel a “Immense pain for my father's words,” “Do you realize that you have achieved something immense? You will remain in history!” .

Concept of immense

The adjective immense - from the Latin immensus - does not refer to a concrete or specific measurement. On the contrary, the immense is so large or broad that it is usually difficult to measure. It can also refer to that which is much larger than others of its kind.

You can talk about an immense building when it has fifty floors or floors, while the most common thing is that buildings do not exceed fifteen. A huge baby, on the other hand, is one that is born larger than usual.

On the other hand, something immense can be immeasurable in its essence, since there is no possibility of establishing a measurement. In this sense, the concept is usually used in reference to God and his attributes. It is possible to express that God is immense, since his presence cannot be measured, or that divine love is immense because it encompasses all creatures and leaves no one outside.

It is common for immense to be used both colloquially and within the field of art to define the sea, which becomes a source of inspiration for poets, composers, sculptors or painters. And all this without forgetting that, in the same way, it is used to refer to heaven.

The term in music

“Inmenso” is also the title of one of the best-known songs by the great Cádiz singer Rocío Jurado , better known as “the greatest” for her vocal qualities. This composition speaks of love as an immense feeling capable of overcoming any barrier, of facing any obstacle and of making people happy to a great extent.

Other songs that also resort to the use of that adjective are, for example, “Amor inmenso” , by the Italian artist Nek , or “Inmenso amor” by the Mexican Christian singer Marco Barrientos .

Book "This immense world"

Within the field of literature, the use of that term has also been used to give titles to numerous works. This would be the case, for example, of “This Vast World” , which was written by Lewis Sinclair . The novel revolves around Hayden Chart , a man who is going through one of the most tragic moments of his life: the death of his wife in a traffic accident.

This loss hurts him so much that even his profession as an architect does not satisfy him. Therefore, he decides to take a trip away from home. He goes to Europe and specifically to Florence , where he will come across a city that will make him fall in love and that will return part of his lost happiness.
