Hi, angliholic!

Animated, lively, and active are your best choices. Chipper and spry are better suited for use in describing characteristics of people.

Best wishes,

Thanks, my dear amigo.
Just to make sure, do the following sound right?

You're very chipper/spry/animated/lively/active today.


If yes, are they more or les the same in meaning? Thanks.

Yes, all of those words are complimentary! I would be very happy if you addressed me in such a pleasant manner!

Got it! my helpful amigo.
Though I don't see you face to face but I can feel you're pretty chipper and spry.

By the way, can addressed in your post be replaced by greeted?

Out of curiosity, do you still use the name 'Formosa' at all or is it an old text?

[angliholic]

Thanks, Tdol, for your interest.
I'd like to call this place Formosa personally because it's a beautiful paradise to me.
By the way, is greeted synonymous with adressed in the above post?
