the word is actually "Naïf", ie with two dots over the i (diaeresis) to separate the "a" sound from the "i". It is pronounced "Nayeef", and is a rare form of the similar word "naive", meaning (a person of) unsophisticated or uncomplicated simpleness.

It doesn't mean naive, it means someone who is naive.

Naive. Had to look it up though.

Answer 8

It's the masculine form of the adjective 'naive'. Although in common usage we say "He's a bit naive", this should, strictly speaking, only apply to females."He is a bit naif", is right for a male. It's because, in French, all nouns are either male or female and the verb and adjective changes accordingly.
