The task was:
Describe six different people, using two descriptive words each: a woman, a man, a boy, a girl, you and me. Ex. The boy is young. The boy is tall.

My text was:
Nainen on nuori ja kaunis. Mies on juopunut ja töykeä. Poika on blondi ja vireä. Tyttö on kiva ja tahdikas. Olet haikea ja syrjäinen. Olen nälkäinen ja raukea

  • Olet haikea ja syrjäinen.
  • Olet haikea ja syrjäinen. // basically correct, but you could replace "syrjäinen" with "etäinen" (distant) or "syrjäänvetäytyvä" (withdrawn)

 
Very good adjectives. Some of them may not be the most used in every day speech but they are still very descriptive and correct in the context.
