Hello and welcome back to Daily English! Today’s word is polite, professional, and useful: “amicable.” Say it with me: amicable. One more time: amicable.
Clues / Guessing Examples
– Imagine two business partners who decide to close their company. Instead of fighting, they shake hands and part ways peacefully. That’s an amicable decision.
– A couple gets divorced, but they still talk kindly and cooperate for the children. That’s an amicable divorce.
– Two neighbors argue about parking but later apologize and agree on a fair solution. They found an amicable way forward.
Definition: Amicable means friendly and peaceful, especially when you might expect conflict.
Examples
- The two sides reached an amicable agreement.
- We had an amicable conversation, even though we disagreed.
- Their breakup was surprisingly amicable—they still respect each other.
The word comes from the Latin amicus, meaning “friend.” So even when there’s disagreement, being amicable means keeping a friendly, respectful spirit.
Personal Question
