工作学习 / 外语学习 / 讨教:you are pretty 和you are a beautiful person是一个意思吗？个人理解后者内容比前者丰富，是这样吗？

I guess they mean the same thing."You are pretty" is common, meaning you are good-looking.
"You are a beautiful person" most likely comes from an immigrant who is not sure how to express "you are pretty" or "you are so kind."

But ...The fact is the first one was from an immigrant and the 2nd one was from a Canadian. it is my first time to see the 2nd expression. that is why I thought their meaning is different.

The first one is very clear. The second one is not so much. It may be different or same, all depending on the speaker. Why should we make the guess without a context?
