Q:
(adjective) that I am 是什么意思?
A:
Because I am a fool, i actually think that it's important. Because I am an optimist, I also had a condom in my wallet.
It's not to be taken too seriously. It's usually a sort of joke the speaker is telling about himself.
In the first case, he doesn't truly think he is a fool. He is pointing out that (from some point of view) it *is* important, but that from another it is not, like perhaps it is impractical but ethical. So the true meaning here would be that he is ethical and other people who would think that he is a fool are not ethical.

Q:
adjectives subordinate 和 secondary 和有什么不一样?
A:
sorry, I was tired late last night and didn't notice that the page only explained one thing.
It was all about subordinate clauses, and how they can function as an adjective (or as a noun, or as an adverb)
I'm not a university English professor, so I could be wrong, but I would say that you could think of a "secondary adjective" as an adjective for an adjective ;)
For example:
I need to find my blue hat. ( "blue" is the adjective)
I need to find my old blue hat. ("old" is the secondary adjective)

go (adjective) ---SVC 和 get (adjective)--SVC 和有什么不一样?

I'm not sure what the ---SVC part means, but "go (adjective)" is commonly used with irreversible transitions/transformations that are negative.

"Adjective" 的翻译
Q:
How different are adjectives "posh", "chic" and "fancy" especially when you describe restaurants or cafes something like that? Examples would be a great help. (please ignore the template question) 这个在 英语 (英国) 里怎么说?
A:
they more or less mean the same thing. "Posh" is a word that describes rich and upper class people (the origin is the initials of Port Out Starboard Home, the nicest cabins on cruise ships). So a posh restaurant might have magnificent wooden furniture, linen tablecloths, crystal glasses, traditional food like potatoes, beef and lobster, and very formal staff.
Chic is a French word we use to mean fashionable. So a chic restaurant would be more likely to have modern design, attractive young female staff and adventurous or foreign food. Fancy really just means out of the ordinary; either of the places I've described could be called fancy by an ordinary person, because they don't serve ordinary plain food in a basic way.

Q:
which is correct- friendly (as an adjective)-> friendlier or more friendly? 这个在 英语 (英国) 里怎么说?
A:
Friendlier and then friendliest are the proper comparative and superlative. However, increasingly I find that the “more/most + adjective” is being used, even for fairly shortly and easy to enunciate comparative/superlative forms. You will be understood whichever you choose.

Q:
Is there a any adjective for describing people who like variety in their life?
( they cannot focus on one single job/ hobby/ relationship/ studying/ ...
They seek variety, they are neophiliac, and somehow adventuresome/ they have enthusiastic personality)
Can I say :
Variety seeking people/ variety seekers
A man/ woman of variety
( they cannot focus on one single job/ hobby/ relationship/ studying/ ...
They seek variety, they are neophiliac, and somehow adventuresome/ they have enthusiastic personality)
Can I say :
Variety seeking people/ variety seekers
A man/ woman of variety
A:
You can say
He/she is a neophiliac; I think it is the exact word you are looking for, but that is not a commonly used (or understood) term in colloquial language.
In commonly used language, we might say this just as you wrote it.
He/she can't focus on anything. He/she flits from one thing to another. (negative)
Or
He/she can't get serious about anything. He's/she's always on to the next new thing/adventure. (negative, but a little less so because of the 'adventure' aspect.)
On a positive side,
you could also say
He/she is multi-faceted.
which means the same thing but in a positive light. (Rather than 'can't focus, it carries the connotation of multi-talented, focusing on many interests.)
Hope this helps.

Q:
What adjectives do you think of when you describe someone who looks like a philosopher (maybe judging from his eyes)?
A:

Q:
What are "adjectives" for めんどくさい you use in a casual situation? "Troublesome" and "bothersome" are kind of too formal, aren't they?
- めんどくさい質問
- めんどくさい人
- めんどくさい質問
- めんどくさい人
A:
Ah I see. I was thinking of it more as I hear it used colloquially.
めんどくさい質問 - "complex" or "difficult" question would work
めんどくさい人 -
"contrary" is a little formal but works
"tough customer" is more slang
"needy" implies they need a lot more help than they should, like an adult who is behaving like a child
or they might be "emotionally needy" requiring constant reassurance
"Codependent" means they need you or someone else to prop them up in life emotionally and psychologically
You are right that "troublesome" and "bothersome" would be better literal translations and maybe 50 years ago or more would have been more commonly used. Maybe they are more common in UK English.
Also, I wonder if part of the difficulty is that maybe in English we just don't describe people or questions/problems that way as often? It is done, but maybe not in the same way as in Japanese I think.

Q:
Which adjectives do you usually use when you describe the people who easily get drunk whenever they drink and people don't get easily drunk?
A:
お酒に強い: can hold their liquor; can drink one under the table...
お酒に弱い: can't hold their drink; cheap date...
There are many expressions related to drinking but "hold one's liquor" is probably the most idiomatic and common.
