  1. fresh

    That which is new has lately come into existence, possession, or use; a new house is just built, or in a more general sense is one that has just come into the possession of the present owner or occupant. Modern denotes that which has begun to exist in the present age, and is still existing; recent denotes that which has come into existence within a comparatively brief period, and may or may not be existing still. Modern history pertains to any period since the middle ages; modern literature, modern architecture, etc., are not strikingly remote from the styles and types prevalent to-day. That which is late is somewhat removed from the present, but not far enough to be called old. That which is recent is not quite so sharply distinguished from the past as that which is new; recent publications range over a longer time than new books. That which is novel is either absolutely or relatively unprecedented in kind; a novel contrivance is one that has never before been known; a novel experience is one that has never before occurred to the same person; that which is new may be of a familiar or even of an ancient sort, as a new copy of an old book. Young and youthful are applied to that which has life; that which is young is possessed of a comparatively new existence as a living thing, possessing actual youth; that which is youthful manifests the attributes of youth. (Compare YOUTHFUL.) Fresh applies to that which has the characteristics of newness or youth, while capable of deterioration by lapse of time; that which is unworn, unspoiled, or unfaded; as, a fresh countenance, fresh eggs, fresh flowers. New is opposed to old, modern to ancient, recent to remote, young to old, aged, etc.

How to use fresh in a sentence?

  1. Sarah Palin:

    (The choice) became much less difficult once some inconsistencies started coming out about Cruz's position on amnesty, on building that wall (along the Mexican border), and securing our jobs and our homes via tighter borders, you know, I just started looking a little bit closer and realizing we just don't need more of the same. We need that fresh, energetic, can-do spirit that Trump has brought with him from the private sector, which I love. So yeah, end of the day, it wasn't a tough decision.

  2. Mary Pickford:

    You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.

  3. Mai Shi:

    We have warehouses on both East and West Coast, so our shortage compared to other boba brands is way less significant, however, we definitely see a trend that the demand for the entire bubble tea category is ever increasing as people want fresh, made-to-order drinks.

  4. Opposing Kucinich:

    The Democratic Party had an insider pick, but the people of Ohio want fresh thinking.

  5. Victor Hedman:

    The Cup champions understand that as much as those who haven't won. Peter DeBoer said Alex Pietrangelo, who captained St. Louis to the Cup two years ago, has tried to explain what that taste was like and the desire to get there again. Reigning playoff MVP Victor Hedman knows it well. He hopes Savard's fresh look and the Lightning's winning experience is the right blend to get it done again. ' Savvy has n’t had that opportunity yet, but he’s brought a lot of excitement into the room and just a great guy to be around, we’re still very, very hungry. Even though Eric Staal go all the way, that’s contagious. Eric Staal want to do it again.
