You spend too many hours with your partner?
Oh no, you spend too many hours with your
co-workers, with your fellow workers or with
your colleagues. Am I right? So in this lesson,
we are gonna look at some positive and negative
adjectives that you can use for your co-workers.
Hi friends, I am Niharika and welcome back
to a new lesson. Well in today's lesson, we
are gonna look at some positive and negative
adjectives that you can use for your co-workers.
So if you work in an office or maybe at a
store or at the airport, there are people
that you work with and these people are called
as your co-workers or the other words that
you can use in English for them are colleagues
or fellow workers. Now you tend to develop
relationships because you are spending a lot
of time with them. May be more than 5 days
a week and too many hours, right? So when
you end up building relationships, well it
can either be a good relationship or a bad
relationship. So when you have to talk about
them, there are certain adjectives that you
can use in English. So in this lesson today,
I have 5 positive adjectives for you and 5
negative adjectives that you can use for them.
So let's first look at a positive adjective
here which is, trustworthy. Now, a person
or your co-worker who is very honest and truthful
and you can completely rely on this person,
the perfect adjective to use is, trustworthy.
So, yes there are certain people in our office
who are so honest like you can completely
rely on these people. So you can use the adjective,
trustworthy.
The other positive adjective that I have for
you is, responsible. Now certain people put
in a lot of efforts towards their duties.
They are very hardworking and they make sure
to complete their job on time. So which means,
they are responsible enough to whatever they
are given. So, if you have people who are
very hardworking and you know that they put
in their best. They put in their 100% to complete
a job, then they are very responsible. That’s
the adjective that you can use for your co-workers.
Okay, the other term or the other adjective
that you can use is ethical. Now there are
certain people who do or who get into cheap
tactics to attract attention. now that's completely
negative but certain people who are very honest
and who follow or deal with people with their
morals and principles, such people are called
as ethical. So an adjective that you can use
for a person who follows morals and principles,
you can say that this person is ethical.
Alright, let's move on to another adjective
which is, diligent. Now, who is a diligent
person? Someone who concentrates on details.
So someone who is very hardworking and will
make sure to give their best and will not
pay attention to other different things, that
are happening around in the office. So the
main thing that they need to do is, complete
their job with great efforts. Alright, so
rather than just saying, she is such a hardworking
person, a better adjective that you can use
in English is that she is so diligent. Okay,
so she gives her 100% when she takes up something.
The last positive adjective that I have for
you that you can use for your colleagues is
obedient. Now obedient is not just used for
little kids that hey, look at that kid she
is so obedient. Well, it's also used for adults.
Well. It’s used for someone who complies
with all the instructions and commands that
are given by an authority. So, if the boss
says something, well, yes, it has to be fulfilled.
So, there are people who would always listen
to their bosses and will always do the right
things because they are very obedient. So
someone who complies. So someone who complies
with instructions. Like it's not their rule
but yes they give all the respect and are
very obedient to towards their bosses. so
these are the positive adjectives that you
can use for co-workers and if you do have
such nice people, then please mention it to
them because they would always feel great
if you use these adjectives directly on their
face.
The negative adjectives that I have for you
are belligerent, that's the first one. Now
belligerent is used for a person who is always
ready to fight. Hmm. There are certain colleagues
who do that. Like they are always so angry
and they just wanna fight on everything. So
such people who are always ready to get into
an argument, to get into a fight and are really
annoying. Then the perfect adjective that
you can use for them is belligerent. Uh...
John is such a belligerent person because
he always wants to get into arguments. He
always wants to fight over silly things.
Alright, the other adjective that I have for
you which is used in a negative way is finicky.
Now certain colleagues pay a lot of attention
to silly things. They are too fussy or they
are way too picky about certain things. So
a good adjective to use for such annoying,
fussy and picky people is that finicky, that
you are so finicky, look at you. So someone
who pays attention to like silly things and
just too fussy about everything, then they
are called as finicky people.
Alright, the other one is gullible. Now, people
usually think that this adjective gullible
is used in a positive way but actually it's
used in a negative way. There are certain
people that you come across who are very innocent
and who are very naive. They are not dumb,
okay people usually think that gullible means
that you are dumb, super dumb but no I'm not
here talking about being dumb but someone
who is very naive. Who can be easily tricked?
So if you know a colleague can be easily fooled
or tricked by the others, then this person
is gullible. So, it's not a good thing, isn’t
it? It’s important for you to come out as
a very confident person not as a naive person
or not as a gullible person. So, someone who
is very naive, you can use the adjective gullible,
alright.
The next negative adjective that I have for
you, inconsiderate. Yeah, people who are inconsiderate
are way too rude. I totally dislike inconsiderate
people. So what exactly does this adjective
mean? Now someone who is inconsiderate doesn't
care about anybody’s emotions or feelings.
They are very disrespectful to others. Alright,
they don't know what to say and they kind
of embarrass you every now and then. So someone
who has no feelings doesn't really care about
you. Well, such co-workers are absolutely
inconsiderate and trust me, we all live with
so many inconsiderate people. Well, that's
my experience but yes, so people who have
no feelings, no emotions, do not care about
anything, they are inconsiderate.
Then the last negative adjective that I have
for you is, malicious. Huh, that's a big term,
malicious, malicious is used for these evil
people. People who are so mean, who kind of
harass you, who embarrass you, who insult
you are all malicious people. Well, they are
more like a devil for me. So someone who is
way too evil, always tends to harass you,
trouble you and kind of mentally torture you,
they are called as malicious. So if you are
surrounded with such people, use the adjective
malicious.
Alright, so hope these positive and negative
adjectives are helpful to you. This brings
me to the end of this lesson, start using
these adjectives for your co-workers because
I think that they totally deserve this. You
spend too much of time with them, right? And
I'll be back with a new lesson soon, till
then, you take care.
