Funny or nice in a way that makes you smile or laugh.

वापर नमुना: amusing [story/joke/situation/person]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners sometimes use *amusing* when they mean *strange* or *odd*, copying one meaning of *funny*. *Amusing* almost always means that something is enjoyable or makes you laugh, not that it is strange. Also, learners may overuse *very amusing*; in natural speech, people often say *quite amusing*, *really amusing*, or *mildly amusing* for softer opinions.
