Describe relationships in English with 14 positive and negative adjectives. Supportive and tight-knit indicate help and closeness, while tense and dysfunctional describe relationships affected by problems. The vocabulary also distinguishes relationships that feel secure from those that lack trust or real affection. Meanings and examples connect the adjectives with people’s behaviour, so your description of a family or personal relationship says more than whether it is good or bad.
