Translation: He is a negative person.

Can you blame the man, when so many people have died in this course already??

Is it OK to translate as "He is a cynic" similar to "he is an optimist?"

So is it always "negativa" unless you speak of yourself (negativo) or plural (negative)?
It seems like negativa is correct 70% of the time even when I think masculine/ negativo.

No, it's negativa (fem) because it refers to persona, which is a feminine word (even though Lui is masculine). So, "Lui è negativo" and "Lui è una persona negativa".

No, I'm not! :P
