    Connotations are a feeling or idea that is suggested by a particular word. They give us the emotional connection with words.

    Words can be split into 'negative','positive' and 'neutral' connotations.

    Examples:

    cheap / thrifty

    cheap - (negative) a person who hates to spend money.

    thrifty - (positive) a person who is very careful with money.

    young / youthful / childish

    young - (neutral) a person who is of a young age.

    youthful - (positive) a person who may not be young, but has all the good qualities of youth.

    childish - (negative) a person who behaves like a child in a negative way.

    thin / slim / skinny

    thin - (neutral) a body size that is the opposite of 'fat'.

    slim - (positive) used to describe an attractive body shape which is 'thin'.

    skinny - (negative) to be too thin.
