Ranked by relevance and common usage.
Keep "grandiloquize" when the sentence already sounds natural, when a synonym would add unintended emphasis, or when readers need the most familiar wording. A synonym should clarify or sharpen the message, not simply make the sentence look more varied.
If two options seem close, choose the one that best matches the audience and purpose of the sentence.
Choose a synonym only if it keeps the core idea of "grandiloquize" intact in the sentence you are editing.
Check whether the replacement sounds more formal, casual, emotional, technical, or forceful than the original word.
Read the full sentence after the swap. Keep the synonym only when the sentence becomes clearer or more precise.
Review note: Synonym lists are ranked with lexical data and reviewed for practical writing value. Use the comparison notes, sentence evidence, and source labels together; a high-ranking synonym can still be wrong when the audience, register, or grammar changes.
After choosing a replacement for "grandiloquize", read the sentence once for meaning and once for rhythm. The best synonym should feel natural in the full sentence, not only accurate in a word list.
If the synonym makes the sentence slower, vaguer, or more dramatic than intended, keep "grandiloquize" or choose a simpler alternative from the closest-match group.

Il Riscatto dell’ Italia takes a high flight, and grandiloquizes on the past abjectness and present glory of Italy; whilst the Costituzione and the Costituzionale walk on earth, and advocate moderation in the exercise of a boon which has been granted by the loving Ferdinand to his “amatissimi sudditi.”

Jean Paul ingeniously explained that when we laugh at the stupidity of other people, it is only because we have imputed, or as he says “loaned,” to them our insight, and thus in them been able to perceive the contrast between a minimum and a maximum of such insight. His metaphysical grandiloquizing upon the terms sublime and ridiculous, infinitely little and infinitely great, is fruitless of true meaning, and that I suppose was the essence of its emotional value.

After listening to Adolf Hitler grandiloquizing about “spheres of influence,” Molotov silenced him by asking all at once: “What’s this about a new order in Europe? And in Asia? What role is the U.S.S.R. going to play? What about Bulgaria? Rumania? Turkey? How shall Russian interests be preserved in the Balkans?”

Being at the Buccellatis was always such a bore since the place seemed to attract egos stroking beards. There was always a false kind of energy, people hyped on liquor and self-glorification, swelled with self-importance, grandiloquizing around the table, stirring up discussions for the sake of hearing themselves sound impressive, each one essentially saying either nothing or else arguing the same point of view without being aware that he was agreeing with the other, because no one ever listened to anyone else anyway.
