Adjectives for all letters of the alphabet. We speak affectionately: adjectives that characterize a girl

Hello! Very often, when we are asked to describe ourselves or another person in English, we limit ourselves to a verbal depiction of appearance. Meanwhile, a person is a versatile personality, with his own character traits and other characterizing features. Without using these words, you cannot tell anything about a person as an individual. Describing a person in English

In the vast majority of cases, in order to talk about a person, we use characterizing adjectives. In this article, I tried to collect the most popular adjectives that can be used to describe a man or girl as an individual. For this purpose, you can use words that are part of the following categories:

  1. Character traits:
  • Personality traits
  • Mental capacity
  • Strong-willed qualities
  • Attitude towards other people, towards property, towards work

Let's look at all these categories separately.
Dictionary for describing appearance in English Adjectives characterizing a person in English

When talking about appearance, we describe height, age, voice, clothing. For example, growth can be high ( tall), short ( short) or average ( medium), and age - elderly or old ( old), middle-aged ( middle-aged) and young ( young). Speaking about the voice, you can indicate that it is hoarse (cracked), voiced ( crisp) or melodic ( tuneful).

A smile can be charming ( engaging), charming ( charming) and sincere ( sincere) or vice versa, cunning ( cunning), played out ( forced) and insincere ( artificial). You also need to express your own opinion about how a person looks, using the following adjectives:

  • winsome - attractive
  • agreeable - pleasant
  • stylish - fashionable
  • dapper - neat (only about men),
  • lovely-looking - delightful
  • awkward - clumsy
  • untidy-looking - sloppy

Adjectives about character traits

Describing a personality in English involves talking about character traits, habits and preferences. Sides of character can be both positive (intelligent, optimistic, extroverted) and negative (stupid, pessimistic, introverted). And sometimes the same feature, depending on intonation and context, can be both positive and negative (determined, thrifty, obstinate).

When characterizing an individual, do not forget to clarify why you call him that. For example, when you say that a girl is hardworking, explain why you think so:

Any is very hard-working. It can work all day without any break at all. I really admire the way it studies and works. (Annie is a very hard worker. She can work all day without a break. I actually admire the way she studies and works).

Table of characterizing adjectives

The criteria that make up a person’s character are also varied. For ease of memorization and pronunciation, I have placed them in a compact table with translation and transcription. This will make it easier for you to navigate the criteria and remember the characterizing adjectives.

Attitude to property

A compliment is a magic wand in the hands of any person. By saying a couple of pleasant words, you can cheer up your interlocutor for the whole day! Compliments starting with the letter “A” generate a lot of emotions in people’s hearts. It just so happens that they precisely characterize the personality of each person, so they should be pronounced with caution.

  1. “Artistic” is a compliment that will please someone who craves attention. It is not necessary for a real artist to say this word. A beautiful girl who is trying hard to impress someone will be pleasantly surprised by such praise, but a modest guy will be surprised by such a characteristic of his own personality.
  2. “Neat” is a compliment that should be pronounced purposefully. There is no point in praising such a sloppy person because in the end he will not change and will behave as before. This compliment is one of the most unromantic. You can talk about neatness to a student, a subordinate, a child, but not to your beloved girl.
  3. “Active” is a targeted compliment. You can call your friends, work colleagues and just people you like as such. This should only be done if a person really takes an active position in life.
  4. “Ambitious” is a very original compliment. Suitable for people who clearly understand the meaning of this word. This can be called a successful person in business. This word has a pronounced emotional connotation and characterizes a person who has inflated demands on the quality of his own life.
  5. “Appetizing” is a dubious compliment. You can only say it to a person with whom you are in a close relationship. The word “appetizing” perfectly describes a sexy woman, but a man will find it strange. Such compliments are appropriate only among people you know well.
  6. “Angelic” is an adjective that can characterize both a person’s behavior and his inner world. It is best to give such a compliment to girls, since a representative of the stronger sex may consider it to belittle male dignity.
  7. “August” is a word that in ancient times denoted a royal personality, a sacred nature. Today it is used as a sophisticated compliment. Usually, “the most august person” refers to proud young ladies with a strong sense of self-esteem.
  8. “Fragrant” is a compliment intended for women. You can say it to a lady with whom you have a fairly close relationship. There are few compliments beginning with the letter “A,” but they perfectly characterize people’s personal qualities and are very original.

Nothing characterizes a person better than an adjective served with an unusual sauce of other bright adjectives and decorated with a bright ribbon.

When meeting a person, the first thing we can describe is his appearance. Do not limit yourself to a standard set of words, as there is a lot of vocabulary that will help you in this difficult task. So, you can tell a girl that she is beautiful using words beautiful, pretty, cute(sweetheart, lovely), stunning(stunning). Men were less fortunate. For them there is only one word that characterizes male beauty - handsome.

Speaking about human growth, it is worth remembering three words - tall(high), short(short), of medium height(medium height). If you want to talk about age, use young(young), old(elderly), middle-aged(middle-aged).

If you want to talk more about hair, you should remember the following words: long (hair)- long hair
short (hair)- short hair
shoulder-length– shoulder length
curly– curly
wavy– wavy
bald- bald

If your friend has special facial features, pay attention to the vocabulary below:

almond-shaped eyes– almond-shaped eyes
snub-nosed- a person with a snub nose
turned-up nose– snub nose
freckled– freckled

So, we sorted out the appearance. You can go directly to the character of a person. And then prepare your memory cards, use your brain at full capacity, stock up on pen and paper, or just try to remember all the necessary words. It is not surprising that we can speak good or bad about a person, because sometimes we have to describe people who we don’t like at all.

Aggressive– aggressive
Angry (vicious)- angry, spiteful
Arrogant– arrogant or someone who always turns his nose up
Boastful- boastful

Dishonest– dishonest
