"I have a lot of news to tell you." or "I have so much news to tell you."
novelty –noun 1. state or quality of being novel, new, or unique; newness: the novelty of a new job. 2. a novel occurrence, experience, or proceeding: His sarcastic witticisms had ceased being an entertaining novelty. 3. an article of trade whose value is chiefly decorative, comic, or the like and whose appeal is often transitory: a store catering to tourists who loaded up with souvenir pennants and other novelties. I think the 3rd definition is the most common one that comes to mind in America when the word "novelty" is used. However, "novelty" is used to refer to "newness" in some cases exactly as the sample sentence in #1 show. "The novelty of the new job is wearing off." - Translation - "The newness of the job is wearing off." Those are the 2 common uses here at least. |
