Positive Adjectives
Positive adjectives describe a person, place, thing, or idea in a positive manner. Positive feelings like love, hope, happiness, and joy can all be expressed with these words. Using these terms can inspire, encourage, boost confidence in, or motivate people.
Example
You are very charming.
I met an adventurous man.
He is very loyal and passionate.
The above examples show positive emotions and expressions on part of the speaker. Positive adjectives can help non-native speakers of a language remain friendly while having a conversation with strangers.
There are thousands of positive adjectives in the English language. Although many of them are similar in meaning, they cannot be used interchangeably.
Certain positive adjectives can be used to describe the personalities or qualities of a person, while others can only be used to describe the appearance or quality of an object.
One cannot be used in the context of the other.
Example
The building had an asymmetrical design.
The man had a crooked nose.
In the above examples, one adjective cannot be used in place of the other, because it would not fit in the context. Also, most of the positive adjectives are used to describe emotions, personalities, and feelings of people.
