Kosa la kawaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "enjoyable" with "funny." "Enjoyable" means pleasant or fun, while "funny" means something that makes you laugh. Learners may also say *"enjoyful"* to describe an activity (e.g., *"an joyful movie"*), but the natural word for activities and experiences is "enjoyable."
