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
