1)
Before starting, I would say I disagree with what all of dictionaries say

Now all of dictionaries say the word nitid, jsut means shiny lustrous bright and glistening
I guess you can use it like that and I don't think it's a problem syaing that something is shiny and birght, it's got a steady brightness to it

I've also notied the dictionaries have avoided user giving examples of nitid like the plague

 

But for me, this word nitid has the idea of something you can see with clarity. you can see all of the small details. it's completely in focus

To me, the primary meaning of nitid is a sharp clear picture
something in sharp detail, you can see all of it very clearly, it's not fuzzy and hazy. it's clear

I am going to give you some example of nitid that comes straight from the internet that are atually used in reality, not with meaning from dictionaries

 

Amazon is selling a puzzle and it's described as no missing pieces, very nitid picture, bright colors dazzling detials.  this is talking about clarity

A review for a Sony TV, I was surprised how clear and nitid the picture was. this is talking about clarity of detail, it's not talking about shininess that all of dictionaries indicate

Sombody who took a photograph, I finally mananged to get a nitid picture or almost of this thing. here if nitid was used for the meaning of brighting, it doesn't make sense. so in this context, the meaning of the word nitid is for clarity

Although the camera was in fast action mode, it was still impossible to take a nitid picture, one that clearly showed all of the details.
almost completely clear and that would make sense. this is the idea of the nitid

it's something that you can see clearly
he gave a nitid description of what was happening. it was clear and you could understand it very well
a nitid account of what happened
it was clear it wasn't shiny
it was clear you could understand all of different bits that went in it
for me the primary collocation for the word nitid, a nitid picture
the picture showed nitidly all of the small details of the scene
it's hard to imagine a nitid picture of their faces. so you shut your eyes and you try to imagine somebody's face clearly, not a shiny picture!
you could use it meaning shiny or glistening but I think that is much less common and much more old-fashioned
if there is less background noise then you will hear my voice more nitidly

 

 


Formality : 6.5
