Free Spanish Lessons #14 - How to Describe People

In this lesson, Maider explains how to describe people in Spanish. First of all, there are two things that we can describe: personality and physical characteristics. Each of them requires different verbs. How to describe someone's personality in Spanish To describe personality traits, you should use the verb “ser” (to be). E.g.: Tú eres simpático. You ARE nice. And here’s some vocabulary that you might want to memorize for describing people in Spanish: Simpático/ simpática - nice Serio/ seria - serious Vago/ vaga - lazy Educado/ educada - polite Describe physical characteristics in Spanish: Physical characteristics require 3 different verbs: ser (to be), tener (to have) and llevar (in this case, to wear). Here’s how to use each of them: Ser (to be) + adjective - for something that you are. For example: Joven/ Mayor (young/ older) Alto/ Bajo (tall/ short) Gordo/ Delgado (fat/ slim) Guapo/ Feo (pretty/ ugly) E.g.: Yo soy joven. I am young. Él es alto. He is tall. Tener (to have) - to describe the hair, the eyes, the skin. Pay attention to these words: Pelo (Hair): largo/corto (long/short), liso/rizado (straight/curly) , rubio/moreno (blonde/ brown) E.g.: Maider tiene el pelo liso y moreno. Maider has straight brown hair. Ojos/ Eyes: claros/ oscuros (light/dark), verdes/marrones/azules (green/ brown/ blue) E.g: Maider tiene ojos marrones. Maider has brown eyes. Piel/ Skin: morena/blanca (tanned or brown/ white or light) E.g.: Si no tomas sol, tendrás la piel blanca. If you don’t get any sun, you’ll have white skin. We also use “tener” with barba (beard) and bigote (moustache). Llevar (to wear) + noun - to describe something someone is wearing, like clothes or accessories. For example: Ella lleva gafas. She wears glasses. Él lleva sombrero. He’s wearing a hat. Ready to use your new vocabulary? Maider describes two famous persons - can you guess who they are?
