Description

Something enjoyable brings happiness and satisfaction. It is the feeling you get when an experience gives you something good, whether that is a tasty meal, a good book, or time with close friends. Not everything is enjoyable; some things are simply necessary. Think about cleaning your room. It may not be enjoyable, but finishing it might be.

The word suggests something that gives joy. You might describe a vacation as "thoroughly enjoyable" if you had a great time from start to finish. A movie can be enjoyable if it holds your attention. Even simple things, like a warm cup of tea on a cold day, can be deeply enjoyable. In the end, it depends on what gives you pleasure.
