Adjectives for Appearance[edit | edit source]

Kannada has a variety of adjectives that will help you describe someone's physical appearance. Here are some of the most common:

Kannada	Pronunciation	English
ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳು (kaṇṇugaḷu)	kuh-NU-guh-lu	Eyes
ಮೈದಾನ (maidāna)	MY-duh-na	Face
ಕೂತಲು (kūtalu)	KOO-tuh-lu	Hair
ತೊಡೆ (tode)	TOH-deh	Shoulder
ಮೀಸಲು (mīsalu)	MEE-suh-lu	Fingers
ಕಾಲುಗಳು (kālugalu)	KAH-lu-guh-lu	Legs

For example, you can say "ಆಕೆಯ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳು ನೀಲಿಯಾಗಿವೆ" (ākeya kaṇṇugaḷu nīliyāgive) to describe someone's blue eyes.

Adjectives for Personality[edit | edit source]

Describing someone's personality can be more challenging than describing their appearance. Here are some common personality adjectives in Kannada:

ಹೆಚ್ಚುಮನಸ್ಸುಳ್ಳ (hechchumanasullā) - Kind
ದು:ಖಿತ (duḵhit) - Sad
ಹಿಗ್ಗುವ (higg̱uvu) - Happy
ಗಣ್ಯ (gaṇya) - Important
ಕೋಪೀಕರ (kōpīkara) - Angry

For example, you can say "ಅವನು ಹೆಚ್ಚುಮನಸ್ಸುಳ್ಳ ಮನುಷ್ಯ" (avanu hechchumanasullā manushya) to describe someone as a kind person.

Adjectives for Emotions[edit | edit source]

Finally, let's take a look at some adjectives that will help you describe someone's emotions:

ಕೆಂಪು (keṁpu) - Red (angry)
ಕಳ್ಳತೆ (kaḷḷate) - Cheat
ಬೇಸತು (bēsatu) - Tired
ಸಮಾಧಾನದ (samādhānada) - Peaceful
ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಹರ್ಷಿತ (atyanta harshita) - Very happy

For instance, you can say "ಅವಳು ಬೇಸತುತ್ತಾಳೆ" (avalu bēsatutthāḷe) to convey that someone is feeling tired.

Remember, when describing people, it's important to use the appropriate adjective to truly capture their appearance, personality, or emotion. Keep practicing and soon you will be able to express complex ideas in Kannada!
