Personality

By the end of this quiz, you will know five Italian adjectives for describing character: gentile, laborioso, coraggioso, intelligente, and affettuoso. Each round builds your skills a different way: match the Italian word to its English translation, complete a sentence by choosing the missing adjective, and then translate full sentences to practise Italian personality vocabulary in context.

A useful fact for English speakers: gentile looks like the English word gentile, but in Italian it simply means kind or polite. It is one of the most common compliments in everyday Italian. And affettuoso comes from the noun affetto, the same word used in Italian music for the expressive marking con affetto, meaning with warmth or feeling.
