Let's begin the discussion of the
3
8180
2300
00:10
personality adjective.
4
10490
1710
00:12
Hi, everybody, and welcome back to Top
5
12200
1679
00:13
Words. My name is Alisha, and in today's
6
13879
2371
00:16
episode we're going to be talking about
7
16250
1470
00:17
what adjective describes your
8
17720
2219
00:19
personality best. So let's go! Charismatic.
9
19939
3031
00:22
Someone who is charismatic is perhaps a
10
22970
2040
00:25
good leader,
11
25010
1109
00:26
people are drawn to them, people want to
12
26119
2911
00:29
follow them, want to come to them.
13
29030
1620
00:30
Charismatic doesn't necessarily mean
14
30650
1769
00:32
that that person is a good person or a
15
32419
2011
00:34
bad person, just that they are very good
16
34430
2039
00:36
at drawing people to them. People tell me
17
36469
2401
00:38
that I'm very charismatic.
18
38870
1940
00:41
Boring.
19
41040
1200
00:42
Boring mean something that is not interesting.
20
42240
2560
00:44
So hopefully nobody calls you boring, if
21
44809
2370
00:47
you're a boring person, work on that.
22
47179
3570
00:50
Let's talk about cardboard boxes.
23
50749
1830
00:52
Reliable. Reliable, someone who's reliable,
24
52579
3750
00:56
someone that you can trust, or someone
25
56329
3060
00:59
that always does what they say they're
26
59389
3060
01:02
going to do. My best friend is very
27
62449
2551
01:05
reliable. Humorous. Humorous is
28
65000
3060
01:08
just funny.
29
68060
1410
01:09
There's a difference between funny and
30
69470
1560
01:11
humorous and silly, in terms of people.
31
71030
1770
01:12
Anyway, this is how i would break it down,
32
72800
1740
01:14
silly is like appreciates, just very kind
33
74540
4380
01:18
of childish stuff, or just enjoys
34
78920
2490
01:21
laughing; funny is like a slightly more
35
81410
3150
01:24
grown-up, funny, I feel like silly can be
36
84560
2310
01:26
part of funny, silly can fit into funny,
37
86870
2190
01:29
but funny is a little bit more grown-up,
38
89060
1950
01:31
maybe your make like the actual word
39
91010
2250
01:33
jokes, that are, you know, require a bit
40
93260
3210
01:36
more knowledge or a bit smarter; and then
41
96470
2760
01:39
humorous, humorous is like I feel like
42
99230
4800
01:44
it's a bit more pretentious. I hope that
43
104030
2490
01:46
my friend think that I'm a very humorous
44
106520
1770
01:48
person. The next word is energetic.
45
108290
4590
01:52
Energetic means you have a lot of energy.
46
112880
2400
01:55
I personally don't use it, if someone
47
115280
2610
01:57
says what's your best friend like? I
48
117890
1350
01:59
wouldn't immediately think he's
49
119240
2130
02:01
energetic, like, I feel like that's a
50
121370
2340
02:03
given
51
123710
810
02:04
somehow, and when I say that's a given, it
52
124520
2550
02:07
means it's it's an already understood
53
127070
1859
02:08
idea. I would use energetic for something
54
128929
2911
02:11
you would not expect to be energetic, my
55
131840
2670
02:14
grandmother is very energetic, she hikes
56
134510
2250
02:16
mountains even though she's 80 something.
57
136760
2429
02:19
Lazy.
58
139189
1470
02:20
Yeah, you don't
59
140659
811
02:21
want to be called lazy generally, it
60
141470
2340
02:23
means that you, maybe you're not
61
143810
1380
02:25
hard-working, you don't take care of
62
145190
2730
02:27
yourself, or you don't take care of your
63
147920
1380
02:29
responsibilities. Generally lazy is
64
149300
3180
02:32
not seen as a good thing, unless
65
152480
2490
02:34
you use an expression like, today is a
66
154970
2040
02:37
lazy Sunday. One of my co-workers is
67
157010
2880
02:39
really lazy, he never has his stuff done
68
159890
3120
02:43
on time.
69
163010
1110
02:44
Extroverted. Extroverted, it begins with
70
164120
3090
02:47
that prefix EX-tro, like ex, meaning
71
167210
5010
02:52
outside, so like extra, more information.
72
172220
3360
02:55
So an extroverted person is a very
73
175580
2220
02:57
outgoing person, they like talking, they
74
177800
2280
03:00
like talking to people, they want to go
75
180080
1950
03:02
out, and do all the things and be social
76
182030
1950
03:03
and go yeah! I like being extroverted on
77
183980
4650
03:08
this program. Introverted, the opposite of
78
188630
3420
03:12
extroverted is introverted. Introverted,
79
192050
2820
03:14
inside something interior ,they want to
80
194870
3000
03:17
not go talk to people all the time, or
81
197870
2820
03:20
maybe they just have a different way of
82
200690
1680
03:22
expressing their social skills. In
83
202370
2339
03:24
reality, I'm a rather introverted person.
84
204709
2071
03:26
The next word is indecisive. Indecisive.
85
206780
4350
03:31
Indecisive people drive me crazy.
86
211130
2850
03:33
This word means someone who is bad at
87
213980
1890
03:35
making decisions. I have a friend who is
88
215870
2490
03:38
very indecisive, she can't ever make up
89
218360
2700
03:41
her mind, I have to do it for her.
90
221060
2340
03:43
Easygoing.
91
223700
2900
03:46
Easygoing is a good thing to
92
226600
1920
03:48
be, generally, in my opinion. Easygoing
93
228530
2730
03:51
means you're relax, you'll just do
94
231260
2130
03:53
whatever, you're happy to just hang out,
95
233390
2460
03:55
if someone makes a suggestion, you're
96
235850
2310
03:58
cool with that.
97
238160
1049
03:59
Alright, fine, that's great for me, I'll do
98
239209
2310
04:01
whatever. My best friend is very
99
241519
1831
04:03
easygoing, he's cool to do anything.
100
243350
2910
04:06
The next word is naive.
101
246260
3150
04:09
So someone that doesn't have a lot of
102
249410
1350
04:10
experience in a topic, or even life
103
250760
2670
04:13
experience, could be considered naive. You
104
253430
3119
04:16
don't want to be called naive, the
105
256549
1921
04:18
suggestion with naive is that it's easy
106
258470
2160
04:20
to take advantage of you,
107
260630
1410
04:22
maybe you could be easily molded, or your
108
262040
1890
04:23
experience can easily be changed by
109
263930
2220
04:26
someone else.
110
266150
750
04:26
So generally naive is not a good thing,
111
266900
1710
04:28
you don't want to be naive.
112
268610
1500
04:30
My friend was very naive and
113
270110
2100
04:32
got in trouble with a bad business deal.
114
272210
3200
04:35
The next word is artistic. Yeah, artistic
115
275600
1920
04:37
is a good word, similar to creative,
116
277520
2190
04:39
perhaps. Artistic is someone who enjoys
117
279710
1859
04:41
art, or enjoys creating things, so this
118
281569
2581
04:44
doesn't, it's not limited to, you know,
119
284150
2190
04:46
just art like paintings, you know, doing
120
286340
2340
04:48
good paintings or sculptures or
121
288680
1410
04:50
something like that. Any kind of creative
122
290090
2520
04:52
endeavor, any kind of creative work,
123
292610
2040
04:54
I feel you could use the word artistic for.
124
294650
2280
04:56
My aunt is very artistic, she can draw
125
296930
2549
04:59
very well. Enthusiastic. Enthusiastic, this
126
299479
3780
05:03
is similar to energetic, but it just
127
303259
1801
05:05
means you're excited about things, you're
128
305060
2010
05:07
enthusiastic about something usually.
129
307070
2580
05:09
Sports fans are very enthusiastic about
130
309650
3120
05:12
their favorite team. Friendly. Friendly.
131
312770
2820
05:15
I hope that you are friendly person, is
132
315590
1710
05:17
someone maybe that it feels easy for you
133
317300
2610
05:19
to talk to, someone that's chill, someone
134
319910
2490
05:22
that's probably outgoing, maybe a bit
135
322400
1829
05:24
extroverted is a friendly person. I went
136
324229
2551
05:26
to an event on saturday and everybody
137
326780
2550
05:29
there was very friendly, it was a fun time.
138
329330
2880
05:32
How would I describe my personality? God,
139
332500
2460
05:34
it depends on the day, man. The one that I
140
334970
2580
05:37
use lately is scatterbrained, but that
141
337550
3750
05:41
has a very negative connotation about it.
142
341300
2609
05:43
Scatterbrained, if you break down the
143
343909
2130
05:46
word scatter and brain, scatter means
144
346039
2160
05:48
to spread something randomly, brain
145
348199
3451
05:51
meaning inside your brain.
146
351650
1470
05:53
I have so many different things going on
147
353120
1740
05:54
that, like, I'm thinking about like this
148
354860
1950
05:56
job, and that job, this project, that
149
356810
1349
05:58
project, and I have to do this, and oh my
150
358159
1230
05:59
god, my laundry is not done yet, and what
151
359389
1351
06:00
am I gonna make for dinner tomorrow? My
152
360740
1320
06:02
god! I have to go running later tonight,
153
362060
1440
06:03
What I'm going to do? How many cups of
154
363500
1110
06:04
coffee have I had? This is what's going on
155
364610
1410
06:06
in my head.
156
366020
720
06:06
Those are 15 words that you can use to
157
366740
2190
06:08

158
368930
1829
06:10
