More opposites Posted by on Jun 21, 2010 in Vocabulary

In this post, I present more opposites in response to a request from one of the readers. These opposites have to do with describing people, how they look or feel, for example:

أنا متفائل.  لماذا أنت متشائم؟

“I am optimistic! Why are you so pessimistic?”

كنت متعبة من الرحلة ولكني الآن مستريحة.

“I was tired because of the journey, but I am relaxed now.”

أختي دائماً نشيطة. لكن أخي كسول.

“My sister is always active, but my brother is lazy.”
