It must confuse persons learning the English language when it come to the word "pretty."
The one person is very pretty, but the other one is pretty ugly.

Any language is going to have problems of this sort. In Spanish the adjective listo means 'ready' when it comes with the verb estar and 'intelligent' when it comes with the verb ser.
