What does “amable” mean in English?

  1. kind/polite

Example sentences

  • La camarera es muy amable.

    You're very kind.

  • Es un gesto amable.

How to use it

Amable means 'kind' or 'nice' (about someone's manner). Ends in -e, so it's invariable for gender (amable / amable). Common in social contexts: muy amable, eres amable.

Common mistake

Amable describes manner and politeness — it doesn't mean 'lovable' or 'amiable' in the romantic sense. Use simpático for 'friendly/nice' as a personality trait.
