Ok, here's a challenge. How would you describe yourself in just five adjectives? Describe your appearance, and your character, and don't be afraid to use negatives. I'll start. I'm old and average height. (Appearance). I am patient, honest, and loyal. This is a good exercise for anyone learning English as a second language, so have a go.

funny, smart, tall, a little fluffy and patient... How about if we have English as a first language? Do we have to use bigger words? :-)

Good question, dawnald, that's entirely up to the responder. Incidently, I'm not sure how fluffy refers to a oerson though. Maybe you could inform me. Thanks for responding.

I'm on this site called Yuwie and when you fill in your interests, you can talk about your body type, including "slender", "a little fluffy" and some others. I take a little fluffy to mean carrying around a few extra pounds. As opposed to being furry...

dear mike, its difficult to describe oneself. others might be see it differently (i mean the appearance), i wanted to say charming and sexy but others might see me short and fat. attitude: ive got a good sense of humor, patient too, very sensitive (that's bad!), loyal, friendly. dont mind the first paragraph. i said 5 in the second though. ann

Hi ann, short and fat, can be charming and sexy for some. Personally, I'm not a fan of tall ladies, that's probably why models don't do it for me. My wife is only a fraction over five feet. I have a mantal picture, and that's fine, and personality, well you are a fine person, and a good friend. Thank you. Mike.

This is a very good discussion. I see myself as restless, listless, bored, wise and errr, optimistic? How do I fare? My English language like especially the nouns, adjectives are long rustic. Correct me if I'm wrong, aite. Good topic here..

Hey zed my friend, you are one of the few who have more of a negative outlook, and I think you're being very hard on yourself. Listless, restless and bored would usually lead to a pessimistic, not optimistic person. Don't be so critical of yourself. Thanks for your input.

Are you sure about the meek, jerimiyah? You don't sound like a meek person to me. Thanks for responding.

Well, i dont know how u define meek but in my understand its a person who is tactful. A person who doesnt just say anything just because anyone else is. That particular person waits for the right moment. They are patient and knows when to say it in a proper time. i learned it through the years i have been in ministry.

Hi mipen, my five adjectives for myself would be, funny (and I don't mean looking, well,... maybe funny-looking), intelligent, compassionate, shy and vertically-challenged (meaning short). This was fun to do but hard staying positive, and I didn't want to write any negatives, the list would be too long and too easy to write!

Now, three's a different set of adjectives. However, I could use the same five to describe myself.

Okay, here goes...I am not tall (5ft 2”) I am brown eyed, reserved, animal loving and loyal. It is not an easy task using only five adjectives, there are so many more and not all are positive!

Hi paula, that's a fair summary. Negatives may distress some. Incidently, you're a fraction taller than my wifer, but as my mum (all 4feet 11 1/2 inches of her)used to say,"the baet things come in small packages." Thanks for your input.

Hi Ing, and welcome to the discussion. I think you might check the meanings of opioniated and introvert, as ususlly, an opionated person is more of an extrovert. However, I bet you're fun also. Thanks for your input.

This is actually quite difficult to do. I'm used to describing myself at length and I've never thought about doing it in so few words. So, here we go. I am a younger woman. I am friendly, loving and honest. There is so much more about me that I couldn't share in such few words, but those five words alone should be able to give someone a general idea of who I am and also how I operate.

Hmm, five adjectives? Well let's see. I'm ambitious, a fast learner, open for changes, short, brown haired, pale skinned. Or that's atleast how I'm feeling right now.
