The term "gifted" means to have exceptional natural skills, or abilities. Someone who is "gifted" has a natural ability to do something well. It is in fact the related to the word "gift". Since this skill is not something the person studies or works to be good at it is like "a gift" they were given. Ex: I was a very gifted artist when I was younger. Ex: I wish I was as gifted a singer as you are. Ex: My brother is a really gifted athlete.
