Question: what do you say about a brave person?

A brave person, he is a pleasant person in Occitan, a helpful, kind person. Pr’aquò, es not coma en francés have tot còp, es pejoratiu when it was spoken of someone brave / however, it is not like in French where the use of brave is sometimes pejorative when one speaks of a person: ” he is very brave ”, ” she is very brave ”.
