No other language has such a rich verbal flavor as Russian: from high literary to slang, from artistic to colloquial. From school we know that the term “adjective” means nothing more than a sign of an object, depending on its shape, condition, character, color, size and affiliation. And it is this part of speech that has a degree of comparison, can be qualitative, relative and possessive. Many people are interested in learning about unusual adjectives that can be used to originally and clearly characterize a person, both positively and negatively.

A spoon of honey for your girlfriend

Stinginess with beautiful words significantly repels the fair sex from her beloved. A woman is sure that if a man is not able to appreciate her external characteristics and character, then he does not love her very much. Unusual adjectives that characterize a person, in this case a girl, will help to enrich your vocabulary and please your beloved. If it’s hard to wrap your head around all these epithets, you can use a pen and notepad. So let's get started:

  • Intoxicating, intoxicating, stupefying, magnetic, hypnotic - capable of turning your head and temporarily depriving you of your mind stronger than any alcoholic drink, it is difficult to resist the gaze of such a beauty.
  • Blooming, fragrant, elegant, chic, dazzling, irresistible, stunning, awesome - when her bewitching beauty and aroma do not leave a man indifferent for a second.
  • Irreplaceable, necessary - and no others are needed.
  • Flammable, volcanic, burning, explosive. Beware! This gentle-looking creature will give you some pepper.
  • Incomprehensible - when it is difficult to unravel and understand the whole essence of an attractive person.
  • Hospitable - this is a good adjective suitable for a hospitable wife, whose table is always bursting with delicious dishes prepared by her hands, and she does it all from the bottom of her heart.
  • Sensational - in other words, impressive, eye-catching and shocking to the public. This also includes the fashionable word “shocking”.
  • Outstanding, amazing, unique, inimitable, extraordinary - unlike others, distinguished by its exclusivity.
  • Authentic - this epithet will especially surprise your beloved, it means “real”, “genuine”.
  • Selfless - ready to make sacrifices, in this case for the sake of love.
  • Hellish (in youth slang “hellish”), deadly - a particularly dangerous type of woman.
  • Petite, fragile, graceful - these compliment adjectives will be appreciated by girls for whom the parameters of their figure are of particular importance.
  • Sunny, radiant, festive - this bright person cannot imagine her existence without smiles, a positive mood and positive emotions that infect others.
  • Seductive, sexy, sexy - such passionate adjectives emphasize the tempting intimate qualities of the beloved.
  • Playful, fiery, active - like champagne, a playful, energetic fidget, for whom it is terribly boring to sit in one place.
  • Mobile - always and everywhere on time, easy-going, fast.
  • Rebel is a rebel by nature.
  • Marmalade, chocolate, caramel, honey, strawberry - these are delicious and sweet epithets that men especially like to say to their ladies.
  • Creative, talented, brilliant - the emphasis is placed not only on external data, but also on the ability to think creatively.
  • Cosmic, fantastic, fabulous, magical - above everything earthly, the ideal of all life.
  • Obstinate, rebellious, unapproachable, snowy - these examples of adjectives will be appreciated with dignity by a woman who knows her worth.
  • Psychic, mystical, witchcraft, piercing, supernatural - this is how one can characterize an insightful woman, capable of looking into the most secluded corners of the soul with just one glance, possessing magical attractiveness and unusually subtle intuition; she cannot be fooled.

So you can list adjectives ad infinitum. If fantasy works very well, then original epithets will be invented on the fly. And also these words will fit perfectly into congratulatory lines or are suitable for a fiery SMS message.

Praises for beloved men

Why should all the laurels go to women? Not fair. A kind word also pleases a cat, as the popular proverb says. Representatives of the stronger sex also have the right to frequent compliments heard from their significant other, for example:

  • Phenomenal, brilliant, inventive, unique, exceptional - a man with a high level of intelligence, not devoid of imagination and creativity. This person cannot imagine his existence among everything boring and gray; he definitely needs to stand out.

  • Skillful - a jack of all trades, not only in business, but also in the ability to love and deliver extraordinary pleasure in bed.

  • Outlandish - a rare specimen in its nature.

  • Steely, inaccessible, self-sufficient, independent - a man famous for his strong freedom-loving character, whose heart and affection are not so easy to win.
  • Ebullient, stormy, seething, fiery, volcanic, sultry - his body and the flow of feelings literally melts, such a man becomes hot in bed.

For a faithful friend

Truly reliable friends who do not covet other people's happiness and material wealth can be counted on one hand, but they exist. And they deserve sincere, warm speeches that justify their strong, unyielding character. So let's look at some:

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.

What can I say?

It is not without reason that people say that correctly selected adjectives that characterize a girl can truly work miracles. They will help not only those who are afraid of a cooling relationship, but also people who are just thinking about starting a romantic relationship. But what to do if you are not the talkative type or if your creative spirit has quickly taken flight, taking with it the remnants of your imagination? Don’t be upset, because everything you need for success is already collected here. So just take this knowledge and use it wisely.

A caveat should be made right away: do not use too complex adjectives. The composition and cumbersomeness of a word can not only surprise, but also shock a person. Although the use of such epithets as “angelically beautiful” or “gracefully sexy” is not forbidden. The main thing is to avoid falsehood and use compliments appropriately. Not all the words you said to your past lover are suitable for a new acquaintance. Let's look at this in more detail.

What to say when making a new acquaintance?

All adjectives that characterize a girl on the positive side must be inserted wisely. Too many adjectives will likely make your new acquaintance wary, wondering if you're really just looking for a one-night stand. Therefore, moderate your ardor. Compliments should be soft, neatly screwed into the fabric of the conversation. For example, instead of “I admire your shape, and your gait is just wow, your legs are like a doe’s,” you can say: “It’s rare to meet a girl who knows how to take care of herself so well.” Do you feel the contrast?

With whom you recently made acquaintance, you should not be too intimate. But formality should also be avoided. Don’t forget about such reliable words as kind, sweet, sympathetic, well-read, calm, unpredictable, extravagant. Phrases with them will not seem banal if you say them sincerely, as if by chance. You can think about what you say at home, but it will most likely slip out of your head, so just follow your heart.

What should I say to my beloved?

The lady of your heart has been with you for quite some time and it seems that you need to bring something new into the relationship? So why not start with a compliment? The simplest word can heal and delight. Adjectives that characterize a girl can be very diverse. Here are some examples:


This is just a small list in alphabetical order. You can choose from here adjectives that characterize the girl, you can come up with something yourself. The most important thing is that any pleasant word will definitely respond with gratitude in your own heart, and you will be rewarded.

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 what a person looks like 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.
