Hello everyone,

If someone moves a lot and does something which is not acceptable, can I call them "naughty" in a friendly way e.g "Don't be naughty."?

A.Isn't this word offensive?

B. Do we have some good words to say such a thing?

Regards,

JA

The word 'naughty' is almost always used tio describe only children.


You have to be careful issuing orders to people. Are you in a context which gives you the authority to decide that something is 'unacceptable'?


Have a look at he word 'fidget'.
