👉 Adjective  01 :

So, the first word that I have for you is... charismatic (KéurêzMárêk).

And you could say that someone is charismatic which means that, this person has a natural influence over other people and they can easily get people's attention.

Just because you say that someone is charismatic that does not mean that it's a good thing it sounds like a good thing and it can be a compliment but it does not always mean that the person you're talking about is a good person, it's really just their behavior the way they act they have that influence and they can easily get people's attention(guéPípôs-aTênxèn) well because of the way they talk, the way they speak and you could say yes this person is charismatic.

- The charismatic guy promising to make America great again. 

👉 Adjective  02 :

Uhh, we have the word chatty(Xárí);

And if somebody is chatty it just means that well they'd like to talk a lot, usually in a friendly and informal way, you could say he or she is chatty.

Now the one thing I would say about this word is that it's often used to make an observation about someone else, huhh, you wouldn't often hear people say that ohh I'm so chatty, it's not really, it's not necessarily a good or a bad thing but...you would use it more to make an observation and talk about the way somebody else is acting that they are talking a lot, and you could use it to describe a person, somebody's personality, you could say that he or she is a chatty person.

But you could also use it to describe maybe somebody's temporary behavior because if a person just doesn't usually talk a lot and then suddenly one day they're very talkative you could tell them well you're a bit chatty today.

👉 Adjective  03 :

Uhh, and the next word that I have for you the next adjective is SURLY and this just means that someone is not very friendly and they're often in a mood.

Let me show you a picture which really captures this word right here.

We would often use these words to describe people but you could use them to describe animals.

👉 Adjective  04 :

Then we have the phrase level-headed and if you describe someone as level-headed it means that huh that this person is calm they're able to easily deal with difficult situations and I think this is it's definitely a good thing if somebody calls you level-headed I think that all of us probably want to be level-headed and think that we can solve difficult situations and remain calm.

👉 Adjective  05 :

Then we have the phrase easy-going and this is used to describe someone who is well they're very relaxed and they don't easily get worried or upset and you could say that well this person they're just, they just easy-going nothing bothers them they don't worry about anything because they're easy-going.

👉 Adjective  06 :

The next is absent-minded and this phrase is used to describe someone who easily forgets things or they're just not paying attention to the things that are happening around them.

👉 Adjective  07 :

Then I have a couple of phrases that I put them together and that is ABOVE AVERAGE and BELOW AVERAGE and these phrases are used to describe someone that is well higher or lower or better or worse than the usual amount or level.

So you would use these phrases just to be a little more specific about your opinion as to this person's perhaps their ability and you could say that uh that "somebody is a below average tennis player" or maybe I guess I would like to think that I am an above average English teacher.

These are great phrases that you can use when you want to describe maybe even your own ability or talk about somebody else's ability about above average and below average. 

- Do you think I'm an idiot? - Well I'd say you possess above average intelligence!

👉 Adjective  08 :

Then we have the adjective grumpy and if you say that someone is grumpy it means that they(êtMíns-dédêi) are easily annoyed and maybe they're usually complaining about something.

You could say "Gosh you're uhhh you're always so grumpy!".

And to give you another example, let's just bring up another cat.

Here this is a picture of a grumpy cat.
