Pleasant it is that or that which generates liking (satisfaction, taste, joy). This adjective can be used to qualify objects, situations or even people. For example: "Thank you all for the welcome, for me it is very nice to be here", “Have you tried the soy cake? It has a pleasant taste ", "Last night I met the neighbor who lives upstairs, he seemed like a nice and friendly boy".

The opposite of pleasant is what unpleasant: "That food has a very strong and unpleasant smell", "Don't be unpleasant and thank those who have given you a hand".

Many times the idea of pleasant is used with respect to meteorological conditions. If in a city a temperature of 23 degrees is registered, there are no clouds in the sky and a gentle breeze is felt, it can be said that the day is pleasant. This qualification is due to the fact that most people, faced with the aforementioned conditions, feel comfortable. So when, in the middle of winter, someone enters a heated environment, they can point out: "How nice it is in here!".

Sometimes, the surprises as nice. A person who, upon waking up, finds that his boyfriend has prepared breakfast for him and has left a bouquet of flowers on the table, can describe the scene as a "nice surprise".

Of course, the same situation can be unpleasant, or not very relevant, since everything depends on the needs of each individual, their tastes, their goals in life. The degree of subjectivity of this term is similar to that of funny, friendly, attractive Y charismatic, among many others: although for some the charisma of their favorite artist may be undeniable, for example, there will always be millions of people with dissimilar and opposite opinions.

In the example of breakfast and flowers, we are dealing with two people who consider these gestures a necessary part of the relationship, or at least a way of feeding the Union; However, there are many couples who do not pay attention to these things, and who even despise them. No matter how pleasant an action is for us, the world has different points of view on everything, even for violence.

Regarding people, the adjective pleasant is usually linked to the amiability and the courtesy in the deal. One who always displays a smile and addresses others with I respect and cordiality, it will surely be defined as someone nice.

An individual with these characteristics can be the ideal coworker, neighbor or landlord, for example, since with his amiability makes dealing easier, especially in difficult or uncomfortable situations. As mentioned above, pleasant It is a subjective term, for which no one is assured of this qualifier; however, there are profiles with a higher degree of acceptance than rejection across various settings.

It is interesting to note that although this adjective may indicate a feeling of genuine liking for the way of being of the person who receives it, in certain cases it is possible to give it a slight double sense or even use it to hide displeasure.

To graph the first case, let's imagine that a person accompanies a friend to his place of work and that he notices with surprise the abusive way in which his superiors address him; before this, you can comment «I see you have a environment very pleasant work » with a sarcastic tone, to indicate just the opposite.

With regard to those situations in which we want to hide our dislike for something or someone, we can think of a conversation about the performance of an artist who is a friend of one of the interlocutors: the others may say that "It was nice" to avoid hurting their feelings needlessly.
