Definition

Referring to something that is not dramatic or exciting, often characterized by a more ordinary or mundane quality.

Example

The film was quite nondramatic, focusing instead on everyday life rather than intense conflicts.

Conversation

I watched that new show last night, and it was pretty nondramatic overall.

Really? I thought it was supposed to be exciting.

Nope, just a lot of light-hearted moments and nondramatic interactions.

Sounds like a nice change from all the intense stuff we usually see.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Nondramatic → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "dramatic" (from Greek "dramatikos", meaning related to drama or action). The word "nondramatic" means not related to drama or lacking dramatic qualities.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'dramatic' relating to drama — so nondramatic describes something that is not dramatic.
