Dignified- having or showing a composed or serious manner that is worthy of respect
Noble - having or showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideals
Basically not that much of a difference

@bundaman Thank you! Here I want to talk about someone’s general look. Do these two sentences sound natural?

Deleted user
@handsomeish yeah they both sound natural

@bundaman Alright. What if I change “are” to “look” though? “You look dignified/noble...” Do you think this is going to sound more accurate?

@handsomeish write it for me so I’ll understand better , write the full sentence

@bundaman OK. “You look dignified/noble in this black suit.” Does this sound natural?

@bundaman Thank you. Which do you use though? Dignified or noble?

Deleted user
@handsomeish me personally I would’ve used noble as it more polite and nicer thing to say
- Simplified Chinese (China)
@bundaman And “noble” also sounds like the person belongs to a high social class. Thanks a lot for your help!

Deleted user
@handsomeish exactly that’s why I said I’ll personally go for noble , and no problem sir , if you need help I’m here to help

@bundaman Thanks so much for saying so! It says a lot about you. Can I ask you if “chic” can be used for men? I often saw it used for women.

@handsomeish did you hear it in a rap song ? The word chick ?? Cuz this word specifically applies towards women , you cannot say this word to men (unless your joking ofc with your friends )
- Simplified Chinese (China)
@bundaman No, I meant “chic”, not “chick”. “Chic” is an adjective but I often saw it used for women.

@handsomeish sorry Ive read that as chick , yeah chic is referring to a female fashion , and because of that you can say only to women

@bundaman Um, what if I wanted to describe a man with the similar meaning? What words can I use?
