❌This chocolate cake is godlike!
✅This chocolate cake is divine!
💡'divine' can be used as casual exaggeration; 'godlike' is too strong and sounds odd in everyday compliments.
❌He is a godlike.
✅He has a godlike quality.
💡'godlike' is an adjective, not a noun; it must modify a noun or follow a linking verb.
