"Adjective" is a noun. And I just BLEW YOUR MIND!

To prepare for today's National Adjective Day (Observed), I took a look the 2005 list of my favorite adjectives, only to find that it hasn't changed much since then (except I'd like to add "irreverent"). So, since EV gave the okay, I will list some of my favorite French and Arabic adjectives instead:

  • nombreux (numerous)
  • naïf (the masculine form of "naïve")
  • éphémère (ephemeral)
  • بارد ("bard" meaning "cold" because it's sort of onomatopoeic and sounds like shivering)
  • كبير ("kabir" meaning "big" because I like the way our DVD-video-host Maha stretches it out for emphasis: "kabeeeeeeeeeeer")
  • جميلة ("jamelah" meaning "pretty" is a person AND an adjective!)
  • لطيفة ("latifa" meaning "nice" makes me think of Queen Latifah every time!)

Alright, now everyone chime in with your favorite adjectives!

ETA: I forgot to mention that - in case you didn't see it in earlier comments - I have been been awarded the Master of Ceremonies hat for this year's National Adjective Day (Observed) festivities. And here is a picture of me in said hat:
