Describing character (duhovit, skroman, glup)

What kind of person?

After ovakav and takav you can ask what someone is like — ovaj lesson gives you the answers Croatians reach for first.

The likeable set

duhovit is witty, funny in the clever sense: Naš profesor je jako duhovit. privlačan is attractive: Takav osmijeh je vrlo privlačan. nježan is gentle, tender: Ona ima nježan glas. blag is mild, gentle — of people, weather or taste: Zima je ove godine blaga. skroman is modest: Ostao je skroman i poslije uspjeha.

The other side

glup is stupid — blunt, and very common: To je bilo glupo pitanje.

Personal

osoban means personal (osobno pitanje, osobni podaci): Ne želim odgovarati na osobna pitanja. You will see the definite form osobni on forms and documents.
