funny; causing amusement
Making people smile or laugh in a light, friendly way.
Használati minta:
a humorous [story/comment/remark/video]
Gyakori hiba:
Learners sometimes confuse "humorous" with "fun". "Humorous" means something is funny and makes you laugh; "fun" means something is enjoyable, but not always funny. For example: "a humorous story" (it is funny) vs. "a fun game" (it is enjoyable). Also, learners often overuse "funny" and forget that "humorous" is more natural in written or formal contexts, like "humorous article" or "humorous ad".

amusing (Slightly more formal and mild; suggests gentle enjoyment rather than loud laughter.)
|
comical (Often suggests something visibly or obviously funny, sometimes in a silly way.)
Antonimák
serious (Describes things that are not meant to be funny or playful.)
|
dull (Suggests something is not interesting or entertaining, and definitely not funny.)

Használati minta:
a humorous [person/style/tone/approach]
Gyakori hiba:
Learners sometimes use "humorous" only for jokes or things (like a "humorous story") and forget it can describe people or styles ("a humorous teacher", "a humorous tone"). They may also say "he is very humor" instead of the correct "he is very humorous" or "he has a good sense of humor".
Szinonimák
witty (Suggests clever, quick, and often intelligent humor, not just light fun.)
|
playful (Focuses more on the light, fun attitude; may or may not be strongly funny.)
Antonimák
solemn (Emphasizes a very serious, formal manner with no joking.)
|
humorless (Direct opposite; describes a person or style with no sense of humor.)
