Definition
Describes someone or something that is easy to like or love because they are very nice, kind, or attractive.
Usage & Nuances
Usually describes people or pets, sometimes objects with a cute or charming quality. 'Loveable' is more emotional than just 'nice' or 'friendly.' Common collocations are 'loveable character', 'loveable pet', or 'loveable rogue.' Not the same as just 'loving' (which means showing affection).
