There are many beautiful and pretty English words that are commonly used to describe something or someone’s appearance. “Beautiful” is the most common word used to indicate beauty in form, color, or anything that brings pleasure or aesthetic satisfaction. It emphasizes a soft and graceful beauty and is often used to describe women and children. For example, we can say “Tom is the most beautiful child in the world.” On the other hand, foreigners usually use the word “pretty” to describe people, especially women. The word “pretty” has a similar meaning to “beautiful” in Chinese, but it tends to be used more casually. People would often compliment others as “pretty” rather than “beautiful”. Another word, “smart,” implies being clever and intelligent, and it is mainly used to describe a person’s appearance with an emphasis on well-dressed and fashionable attire. It can be understood as someone who is well-groomed and has a sense of style.
