Dear teachers:
I wonder that "funny" is a positive or negative word.
Especially that if we want to describe somebody is humorous, can we say that he/she is a funny person? Thanks a lot!!
Best wishes,
Pemila |

Funny can be either positive:- "Causing laughter, or amusement."
Or negative:-
Strange, peculiar.
Arousing suspicion - There was something funny going on.
(informal) I feel funny (I feel unwell) |
