considerate
Aware of others
Considerate is an adjective that characterizes someone who is thoughtful in a way that shows concern for others.
Though the word is always a compliment, it may be used sarcastically when someone’s behavior is inconsiderate, that is, they fail to show concern for others: It was very considerate of you to park in front of the driveway!
Considerate is used predicatively (she is considerate) but also attributively with some nouns: considerate, parents, considerate behavior.
