what are the words in Mandarin I am compiling some chinese words regarding human's characteristics. (幼稚: naive, 成熟: mature, 慷慨: genorous,善良:kind-hearted, 体贴:considerate....脾气不好: irascible,responsible: 有责任感,开通:open-minded ) I'm wondering which are good words for describing a person: 1. who is pragmatic, realistic or practical? 2. who is shrew and clever (they are also pragmatic, i guess, 聪明 不太一样) 3. who is straightforward or frank (we may use 诚实, but the meaning is a bit different) 4. who is narrow-minded there are many other characteristics that i didn't cover. I'll really appreciate if you guys can add up to the list. thanks a lot!
