Hi Kikimora, To put it plainly, in normal conversation you can receive wonderful news (as in you passed your exam) but not beautiful news. Beautiful = How something looks or is perceived (A beautiful painting) Wonderful = A experience / feeling of awe (think of the 7 wonders of the world, they are awe inspiring but not necessarily pretty / beautiful). A person can be both Beautiful and Wonderful, beautiful referring to how they look, wonderful referring to how they act / treat others. Hope this helps to clarify. Regards, Herman
Wonderful is less about appearence.
Wonderful means 'To be surprised' Beautiful means 'To look pretty'

Hi, Kikimora. Wonderful - tends to excite wonder, surprise and extraordinary emotion. Beautiful - level of attraction and usually posessing great charm.
yes dear why not i can help you i really feel glad to help you. Basically WONDERFUL is synonyms of BEAUTIFUL as main difremce between them is if we saw under.adjectibe sense Is that "Wonderful"is trending to excite wonder,surprising while "BEAUTIFUL" is atractive possesing charm.
Beautiful would more be as seen externally.... such as...... A beautiful girl/a beautiful dress/ a beautiful color. Wonderful would be more of a feeling..... It was a wonderful day/a wonderful show /a wonderful feeling
Hi, hope you well. As adjectives the difference between wonderful and beautiful is that wonderful is tending to excite wonder , surprising etc.. While beautiful is attractive and possessing charm.
Beautiful is is basically a charming or a beautiful physical appearance Wonderful is almost like an emotion or a way to express yourself
the word wonderful refers that how much unique the things or situations are while the word beautiful refers to how charming or attractive the situations or things are.
Beautiful is basically a well used adjective- which means somethings that’s attractive and possesses beauty Wonderful is also a adjective how ever it means something is delightful or extremely good filled with wonder.
