"Lui è una persona negativa."

Translation: He is a negative person.

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

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.

[giuliap]

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

Perhaps you are?!?!

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