Would like to have RUSSIAN EQUIVALENTS, in the same context,
for such similar terms as:
shapely, --------------- figuristaja (colloquial)
well-built, ------------------khorosho slozhena (Ona khorosho slozhena.)
well-endowed,---------------------new word for me, but if it is what my dictionary says: "(informal, humourous) having large breasts", it is "grudastaja" (also colloq.)
curvacious,------------------- figuristaja (colloq.)
fascinating,-------------------obvorozhitel'naja, izumitel'naja
magnetic,-------------------- magneticheskaja zhenshchina (not common, but used sometimes; however, use it with the noun, not alone)
hypnotic,---------------- gipnoticheskaja zhenshchina (not very common, but probably because there are no so many such women...)
spell-binding,--------------------- probably "gipnoticheskaja zhenshchina" again
seductive,--------------------- soblaznitel'naja
appealing, --------------------privlakatel'naja
feminine.--------------------zhenstvennaja.
Will you help with this semantic project of mine ? Hope so.-- John Rim.
