@dongelev85 then, ''aesthetic'' can be used the same as the word ''style or sensibility'' in any occasion?
- English (US)
@carstrk "Style" and "sensibility" don't always relate to art. "Aesthetic" always relates to art.

@dongelev85 exactly, when I want to talk about art or beauty, can I use , sensibility, style, or aesthetic?
- English (US)
@carstrk Works of art follow a particular aesthetic. People's sensibilities determine what art they like and dislike, even if they are not artists. "Style" is a much broader word that can mean a trend or a way of doing things.
