Explanation
Dull means something that is not bright, not sharp, or not exciting. As an adjective, it can describe colours, sounds, people, or feelings. For example, “The movie was dull” means it was boring. A dull knife means the knife is not sharp. It can also mean someone is not very lively or interested, like he looked dull after the long day. So, dull can describe boring, tired, or low-energy things.
