People are people! Wow that is profound! But did you know that not every person is the same?
And that is why we need adjectives. Phwoar! Adjectives are my favorite words... So
let's learn some! My name is Toby, this is SMASH English and here are
10 adjectives to describe personality for the C1 Advanced Cambridge exam!
WITTY refers to intelligence but not any kind of intelligence, no. Intelligence with
words in a funny way. You know how you have that friend and everyone laughs at their jokes and
everyone thinks they're so funny and they're so entertaining to be around and... oh my god,
yeah... that person is WITTY. A WITTY person is someone you would want to invite
to a dinner party. They're funny and entertaining. Yeah like me. I'm WITTY. Uh, no. Not like you.
Someone who is PUGNACIOUS enjoys arguing or fighting. They get angry quickly
and if you make them angry, well, they might hit you. But a PUGNACIOUS person
isn't only aggressive with their fists they could also be aggressive with their ideas. For
example someone that likes arguing all the time about politics could be described as PUGNACIOUS.
Yeah and also Bruce could be described as PUGNACIOUS because
he has a face like a pug. You what? And no... PUGNACIOUS has nothing to do with pugs.
TACTFUL means diplomatic. If you are a TACTFUL person it means you can confront
sensitive and controversial issues while being respectful of the feelings of others. Hey Bruce,
what do you think of my outfit? Monica, I think that you look disgusting,
all right? Oh my god, Bruce, shut up! No I don't! Now that was TACTLESS,
without being respectful of other people's feelings. Hey Bruce! What do you think of my
outfit? Um, Monica, I don't know about the color. You see, you have really beautiful eyes and I
think maybe a different color would bring them out more? I don't know... Hey you know what, Bruce? I
think you're right! My eyes are pretty beautiful, aren't they? And that was TACTFUL! Great!
If someone is impetuous they make decisions without thinking. They act impulsively.
Oh my god guys Johnny has just replied to my text! Oh my god I cannot believe this is happening!
Yeah? What does it say? It says "Who is this?". Oh my god! Johnny is so witty! Okay uh well... Oh my
god I'm just so excited that he actually replied to me! Right, what are you gonna say back then? It
is Monica and I love you. What are you doing!? And sent! Oh my gosh! No! Oh my god! Guys that
was a terrible idea! Delete it! Guys how can I delete this!?!?! Yeah, uh, that was impetuous.
LACKADAISICAL. LACKADAISICAL. LACKADAISICAL. If someone is LACKADAISICAL they have no
motivation. They are not competitive. They don't care. They're very, very
lazy. Yeah like Bruce. He has no ambition at all. He's such a loser. Whatever. Sure.
I don't care. LACKADAISICAL that is LACKADAISICAL.
Sandpaper is ABRASIVE. We use it to make wood smooth. It is very useful. But imagine sandpaper
rubbing against your skin. Oh bloody hell, Toby! That's horrible! No! Don't do it, you idiot
because it hurts! So if a person is ABRASIVE then they are very unpleasant to be around
and that's because they don't care about the feelings of others. And that's a terrible thing.
All right, Toby get me another drink. I've run out! No, Bruce. I'm making a video.
Oh yeah, Toby but I'm thirsty, all right! Oh my god, Bruce. Don't be so rude! Toby's busy, okay!?
Yes all right I'll go. Jesus. Good. Is this okay? Water?! I want beer, you idiot! Not bloody water!
For goodness sake! Yeah, Bruce is definitely ABRASIVE. Or you could say that I'm A-BRUCE-IVE!
Did you get it? BRUCE!? ABRASIVE?! Bloody hell! I'm a bloody genius mate! Jesus...
BIG HEADED is another way of saying arrogant. If someone is BIG HEADED they think they are
fantastic, they think they are marvelous, they think they are the best. And remember this is
quite informal. Oh Monica that sounds like you! You know, you're BIG HEADED. Whatever,
Bruce! I actually think my head is the perfect size for my body! Yeah, in fact I think it's
one of the most beautiful heads alive in the world today! Okay? I think that's obvious. Yeah exactly,
Toby. Look at her! She has got a massive head! to be BIG HEADED. To be arrogant.
being STUCK UP is similar to being big-headed however there is a difference. Big headed is
about how the person feels about themself. If someone thinks that they are great then
they are big headed. STUCK UP on the other hand is more about how the individual treats others.
If they think they are great and as a result of that treat others terribly then they are STUCK UP.
Uh, oh my god. What? What on earth are you wearing, Toby? Like, do your parents not even give
you money? No. No they don't. Well hello! Yeah, Toby that's obvious. You look dirty and hideous.
Ew! Oh okay. Thanks, Monica. Yeah I mean, Toby, you're lucky I'm even friends with you.
Normally I would not be seen dead with someone dressed like that. No way. Yeah, I am so lucky.
An OBSTINATE person is someone who has strong opinions but refuses to change them. Another
way to say obstinate is stubborn. For example I am an OBSTINATE person because I believe that SMASH
English is the best youtube channel in the world. SMASH English is better than
all of youtube put together but excluding SMASH English because if it contained SMASH English
it would be equal to SMASH English because merely contaminating something with SMASH English
makes it just as good. Yeah? Yes. And nothing will ever change my mind because I
am OBSTINATE. Oh yeah and it's usually a bad thing. If you call someone OBSTINATE they will say
"No I'm not. I'm really open-minded! What are you talking about!?". OBSTINATE. It means stubborn.
LOQUACIOUS is another way to say talkative. So if someone is LOQUACIOUS they never stop talking
and this could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective. Well actually to be
honest with you, like, I think being LOQUACIOUS is a really good thing because I have lots of ideas
and I think the world needs to know about ... mixture of beauty and intelligence and I think
when you look as good as me people really want to listen to the things that you've got to say
you know as Gandhi said you got to be the change that you want to see in the world
so I should just be like me because I think the world would be much better if everyone
was like me but obviously that's impossible because I'm so great in every single respect...
So basically yeah. In sum I think being LOQUACIOUS is really great. And with that we are finished.
