Beautiful adjectives for a teacher. Adjectives in English characterizing a person: appearance and character. Adjectives describing appearance

Here is the most complete list of adjectives that positively characterize a person. The list does not include obscene words and words that are professional terms used by a narrow circle of people for professional purposes (not in colloquial speech).

The list does not include such words as: “handsome”, “blue-eyed”, “stately”, “slender” and the like. They describe appearance, but (although they are adjectives used to describe a person) they are not related to character and are unable to shed light on personality traits.

Note: the list contains words that can be both an adjective and a participle (depending on the context in which the word is used at any given time).

Also, remember that some words are neutral in color and characterize a person on the good side only depending on the context in which it is used. But in the same way, it can be used not as a characteristic of positive personality traits, but simply as a statement of fact (without a specific coloring).

Sometimes in a conversation there is a need to describe a person we know or, on the contrary, a person completely unfamiliar to us. Moreover, we can talk not only about appearance, but also about personal qualities with which the speaker is dissatisfied or admired. In Russian, we can use participles, adjectives and stable speech turns for these purposes. In foreign speech, all these means are also present, but most often, adjectives characterizing a person help us to reveal the image of the character under discussion in all details. Today we will consider a large amount of new words that allow you to colorfully and fully describe the qualities and appearance of any individual.

Adjectives describing appearance

A person's appearance is made up of various factors. It is treated as relatively constant signs: eye and hair color, voice timbre, height, age, physique, facial features, etc.; and often changing properties: style of clothes and shoes, possible decorations, accessories. A variety of adjectives allows you to convey both the general impression of the appearance of people, and clearly distinguish between each feature. In the table given below, there is a list of various definitions that describe the appearance of a person in a neutral, positive and negative way.

Next, consider what lexical means can characterize the behavior, principles and views of the individual.

Adjectives in English characterizing a person as a person

It is common for all people to have a natural susceptibility and reaction to actions, which gradually turns into an individual manner of behavior, in parallel developing a special outlook on life and its values. The complex of these actions forms the character of a person and precedes the formation of a full-fledged personality. According to the scale of the phenomenon, various languages there are such a huge number of words and expressions about the qualities of people that it simply does not compare with similar vocabulary used to refer to appearance.

For this category, we also compiled a table in which adjectives in English characterizing the qualities of a person are presented with translation.

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 person, having his own character traits and other characterizing features. Without using these words, you will not be able to tell anything about a person as a person.

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 describe a man or a 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
  • Volitional qualities
  • Attitude towards other people, towards property, towards work

Dictionary for describing appearance in English Adjectives characterizing a person in English

Speaking of appearance, we describe height, age, voice, clothes. For example, growth can be high ( tall), short ( short) or average ( medium), and age is 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 engage), charming ( charming) and sincere ( Sincere) or vice versa, tricky ( cunning), simulated ( forced) and insincere ( artificial). You also need to express personal opinion about how a person looks with the help of such adjectives:

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

Adjectives about character traits

Description of a person in English implies a story 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 specify why you call him that. For example, when saying 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 very hardworking. She can work all day without a break. I really admire the way she studies and works).

Table of characterizing adjectives

The criteria that make up the character of the individual are also diverse. For ease of memorization and pronunciation, I put them in a compact table with translation and transcription. So it will be easier for you to navigate the criteria and remember the characterizing adjectives.
