Differene between 'ambitious' and 'aspiring/aspirant'?
According to OALD,
ambitious =determined to be successful, rich, powerful, etc.;
'aspiring/aspirant=wanting to be successful in life
Their usages sounds similar to me....
Is it ok to replace replace ambitious with aspiring/aspirant or vice versa in the following examples? Would it make any difference?
a fiercely *ambitious* young manager
They were very *ambitious* for their children
He came from an *aspiring* working-class background.
Thanks
