open minded

what's the opposite of that?

Uh, closed minded?

I would say "close minded", although "closed minded" is an alternative.

but I have never heard anyone use that word

Well, maybe you need to listen to people more often then!

abc, I agree with you. I also never heard close-minded before. It is narrow-minded that I have heard the most.

Where are you guys from? You must not be native spakers of English, since it's not an uncommon word...

OK Mr. English native speaker. Could you give me some thesauruses?

Boy, abs:"I also never heard close-minded before."
What you never heard doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist, whether you are native speaker or not.

Fine. any other words with the same meaning PLEASE?

I would say 'narrow-minded', myself.

I'd say "He is narrow-minded" or "he has a closed mind". "He is closed-minded" seems awkward and unnatural, I would not use it myself.

Afrikaans has a word for such a person that I think is very descriptive, it is verkrampte. It is used in South African English too.

""He is closed-minded" seems awkward and unnatural, I would not use it myself. "

Maybe in your African language, but not English.

Narrow-minded sounds better than Close(d)-minded.

Closed-minded (never "close-minded) is not incorrect, it is fairly widely used in Britain. I simply think that it is slightly awkward. Perhaps this is why some say "close-minded". Would they say "the milk bottle is close" or "the close milk bottle" instead of "the closed milk bottle"?

Afrikaans is a West-Germanic language of the Low Franconian branch for your information, though it is spoken in Africa.
