Hi everyone I am Niharika and welcome back to a new lesson
well we all visit new places, right? we go on vacations
we get to see new places we get to stroll along the streets sip on wine
Look at scenic beauty, so yes
that is when we go visit new places
now when you come back, people would ask you, "hey how was your holiday?"
or how was the place?, how was Germany?, how was India?
so we need some descriptive words that would
help us to describe the city or the town or the country that we
visited. So, In this lesson we are going to look at some
adjectives to describe places, so the next time you go on holiday
when you come back you know what to say are even if it's not a holiday even if
you go for your work purpose or for business you can come back
and talk about the city or the country that you visited
so the very first adjective that you can use
for a city which is very historic, which has long
history is the word 'Ancient'
okay so like Egypt
the country is absolutely ancient so it means it's very historic
it has a long history, okay so that's another
adjective that you can use for a city or for a country which has
a long history, okay . The next one 'Attractive'
a very simple adjective that you can use for most of the the cities and
countries
attractive is a city or a country which is absolutely
a treat to your eyes, which means it's beautiful
okay it's lovely and it's very pleasant
for your eyes
okay so
There are so many cities which are so beautiful, so attractive
Let's pick up anything, Let's pick up
'Agra' okay , Agra is a city
in India and Agra has Taj Mahal
so Agra is absolutely attractive or it's lovely, it's beautiful
okay so the adjectives that you can use to describe a beautiful
City. the next one 'Bustling', okay
'Bustling' it means a city which is very crowded
very crowded very busy
a city that never sleeps
so, New York yeah
New York is great example, that's a city that never sleeps .
It's quite a bustling city or Mumbai
Mumbai for that matter Mumbai is also a very busy
and a very very crowded city so places like
New York or Mumbai
are the cities that never sleep. They are very crowded
okay the moment you step out of your apartment or your hotel
you would see so many people
lot of traffic and very busy
okay people are just you running around so that means
the city is quite bustling, right? The next one - 'Contemporary'
'Contemporary' - well it's a perfect adjective
for a city which is very modern and up to date
Okay, like Manchester
Manchester gives you a very contemporary feel
it's very modern okay it's a very up-to-date City
right so this is another adjective that you can use for cities like
Singapore, Manchester, Okay they are very modern
the next one - 'Lively'
A city which is very vibrant, so
I'm sorry it vibrant
again, New York is
a very vibrant city, right?
it's also said that New York is a city that never sleeps and so either you can
use the word lively
or you can also use the word bustling but different meanings
Lively is a city which is very vibrant but bustling is
very crowded and very busy. So yes Lively is
is used for a city which is alive okay
which is very vibrant and like
for example the nightlife of Mumbai is very lively
okay so that's how you can use the adjective. The next one - 'Dull'
you visit a place, which is boring
has no life then that city is
pretty dull know there are some towns in Europe
where the life is pretty boring.
or maybe when you go countryside okay, the countryside is always very
dull and very boring it's not like
the city life, it's completely different, right? so maybe for some towns
or some places which are located at the countryside
can be dull, okay, So dull is little
boring or a city without any life
okay but at times people do like to
goal to dull places okay so it's okay when you just wanna relax
and you want to be away from the traffic from bustling cities
then people do like going to these dull places. The next one-
'Picturesque' okay that how you pronounce it 'Picturesque'
'Picturesque' is a city which is
absolutely charming.
charming in a very unusual way so
city like Istanbul okay,
Istanbul is in Turkey, So Istanbul is
'Picturesque' it's absolutely charming and
it's again a treat to your eyes, so this is another adjective that you can
use for charming beautiful cities. And then the last one - 'Touristic'
'Touristic' is a place
city or a country which is very busy
with tourists okay it's always very crowded
and especially during the holiday season you would spot a lot of tourists visiting
that place.
Tourist city can be
Goa, Goa which is located in India okay, It's a state
but Goa is a very very touristic place, people love going to Goa
in fact the whole economy is dependent
on tourists. So a place like Goa
and which is very crowded during the holiday
season okay so these are the adjectives that would help you to talk about the places that
you visit
