I am currently in a debate with my english teacher about the proper usage of the ornate in a sentence.

The sentence is:
My house was already ORNATE for the holidays.

Is that correct?

really?
how can you be "ornate" for something?

anonymous · Answer

Ornate means "highly decorated", so if I substituted the definition of ornate for the word, then it would make complete sense.
"My house was already highly decorated for the holidays"
