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 // basically correct, but you could replace "syrjäinen" with "etäinen" (distant) or "syrjäänvetäytyvä" (withdrawn)
