polite and considerate toward others
Polite and careful to be kind and fair to other people.
Vzorec užití:
[someone] is courteous (to [someone])
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say "courteous with someone" instead of the more natural "courteous to someone". Another mistake is using it as a verb (e.g., *"He courteoused me"*); instead, use "be courteous" or "act in a courteous way". Also, many situations where learners write "courteous" would sound more natural with "polite" in everyday speech, since "courteous" can sound slightly more formal.
