42 Incredible Ways to Tell Someone they are BEAUTIFUL in English

and everyone and welcome back to english

with Lucy today I am going to help you

I’m going to help you with your love

lives I’d say that in this channel I’m

going to help you tell somebody that

they are beautiful and this isn’t just

in a romantic sense it’s also in a

friendly sense as well so these are

really nice all the way from basic to

advanced ways of telling someone that

they look good I’ve got lots of

objectives

lots of nouns and lots of slang phrases

as well so this video is perfect for

improving your vocabulary but if you

want to improve your pronunciation and

your listening skills even further then

I highly recommend the special method of

combining reading books with listening

to their audiobook versions on audible

it might sound a bit complex but let me

explain is really easy and really

effective take a book that you have

already read in English or a book that

you would like to read in English and

read that book whilst listening to its

audiobook counterpart on audible reading

alone will not help you with your

pronunciation and obviously not with

your listening either the way a word is

spelt in English or written in English

doesn’t really give you much indication

as to how it’s pronounced in English but

if you listen to a word as you read it

your brain will start making connections

and the next time you see that word

you’ll know exactly how it’s said how

it’s meant to be said how it’s meant to

sound and the next time you hear that

word you’ll know exactly how it’s spelt

and written as well it is such an

effective method and the best part is

you can get one free audiobook that’s a

30 day free trial on audible all you

have to do is click on the link in the

description box to sign up

and I’ve also left lots of audio book

recommendations and book recommendations

in the description box as well right

let’s get started with the lesson

firstly let’s take a look

at some adjectives I’m sure you’ll know

some of them but I’ve included some more

advanced ones as well obviously the one

we all know is beautiful beautiful but

we also have pretty pretty it’s normally

used to describe somebody feminine you

can have a pretty man but you are saying

that he is beautiful in a feminine way

gorgeous gorgeous

this means completely beautiful stunning

stunning again very beautiful that’s

probably a top knot for beauty you can

also have cute but this is far more

common in America so if you say someone

is cute in the UK you’d be saying that

they are very sweet or you know

childlike maybe or like a cat or a dog

might be cute in America they use cute

to describe someone that’s good-looking

I remember an American girl telling me

when I was young that she thought my

outfit was cute and I remember thinking

I don’t want to look cute I want to look

grown-up but to her a cute meant very

very nice but to me it meant I look like

a child another one that we do use a lot

is adorable adorable attractive

attractive it’s also an option one that

I use a lot is lovely lovely you look

absolutely lovely if somebody just looks

ten out of ten and you can say perfect

it’s just perfect

everything about her or him is just

beautiful we also have a lovely one

which is radiant radiant this means

somebody has a beautiful glow about them

radiant beauty another word we look

especially if somebody looks really good

in their clothes we really like their

figure we can say you look fantastic

fantastic good looking is also an option

she’s a very good-looking woman he’s a

very good-looking man handsome handsome

is used to describe more masculine

beauty you can say

a handsome woman but you are describing

masculine beauty in that woman so we are

more likely to use handsome for men but

not always breathtaking is another

really nice one somebody is so beautiful

they take your breath away you look

breathtaking tonight or captivating

captivating this means that they hold

your gaze captive like a prisoner a very

feminine one is dainty dainty this is

describes small and feminine beauty you

might describe someone’s dainty hands if

they have small feminine hands dazzling

is another really lovely one dazzling

someone whose Beauty stops you in your

tracks striking is another similar one

striking and the last one one that I

really like is dreamy dreamy normally

used by teenage girls to describe their

crushes oh my God he’s so dreamy now

I’ve got some informal adjectives a lot

of these are describing general

attractiveness rather than beauty

someone could be attractive without

being beautiful and a lot of these are

slang words so if someone is very

attractive you can call them hot hot oh

my God he’s so hot a really slang one is

banging banging she’s got a banging body

or he is banging be careful with how you

say it because if you say he is banging

it doesn’t sound like an adjective it

sounds like a verb but we use it with a

certain tone of voice you are banging

another one if someone’s really hot

sizzling he is sizzling if somebody is a

cunning beauty you can call them foxy

foxy or smoking this normally comes

before hot you are smoking hot in that

dress now three slang ones I had to ask

my friends for these

what do the young people say nowadays

apparently Peng is a slang word that is

used I actually think it’s quite old now

it’s been around for a while but if you

hear someone say oh my god he is Peng I

just don’t feel right saying it I always

feel really cringe-worthy when I say

slang words if someone’s Peg than

they’re very attractive the same for

tidy oh my god you are tidy and we also

have the absolute classic fit I’ve been

saying this since I was a child oh my

god he’s so fit oh she’s so fit so you

might see British people commenting on

their friends photos just saying fit it

doesn’t mean that in shape it just means

you look great we also have some

informal nouns that you can use to

describe someone who’s very attractive

for example a stunner if someone is a

stunner then they are stunning you are

an absolute stunner or a hottie she’s a

total hottie he is a complete hottie we

also have a babe this can also mean that

someone’s a nice person if I say oh he’s

such a babe I might be saying oh he’s

such a lovely guy rather than such a hot

guy

it depends we also have a goddess you

can’t say god I swear that a goddess is

much more used than a god

and obviously it’s used mainly for women

she is a total goddess another one we

can have a head turner she’s a head

turner you make heads turn because

you’re so attractive or a looker this

means that you are good-looking you’re a

looker aren’t you that’s so good

you’re a looker aren’t you yep he’s a

bit of a looker his we also have a new

one I must say I’ve never used this

myself but I have heard it in passing

conversation a worldy he’s got himself a

worldy a really beautiful woman or a

perfect ten

10 out of 10 on appearance we also have

eye candy or arm candy eye candy is

something that is nice for your eyes

something nice to look at an arm candy

is you know when you’re with someone and

they just look really good for you to be

with very shallow but you know you need

to know these things and the last one

thank you to my friends who reminded me

of this very important word a snack if

somebody is a snack it means they are

just Oh delicious you are such a snack

it’s funny because my grandma you know

everyone has a word that they hate I’m

not gonna tell you mine because you

won’t start using it but my grandma’s is

snack so if anyone ever tells my grandma

that she’s a snack she will hate it

I’ve also got some phrases that you can

use to tell someone that they are

attractive a really nice one is you look

as lovely as ever or you look as as ever

you look as beautiful as ever you look

as dazzling as ever

this means you look beautiful but you

also always look beautiful

another one is ah you’re to die for you

are gorgeous I would die for you and

another one that I really like is

drop-dead gorgeous

he’s not just gorgeous he’s drop-dead

gorgeous I I can’t handle it you could

also say that somebody is easy on the

eyes it’s very easy to look at this

person because they look so nice they

are

eye candy you’re very easy on the eyes

and the last one not necessarily a

positive one but you could say you’re

out of my league if somebody is out of

your league it means they’re too

attractive or you consider them to be

too attractive to go out with you I

don’t know why I try with you you’re

completely out of my league not very

nice and not nice to tell anyone that

you are out of their league ever right

your homework for today is to add to

this list I want more suggestions in the

comment section phrases adjectives and

nouns to describe someone who is very

attractive

I’m sure there are lots more out there
