Nice is an adjective that can be used in many different situations. It has a positive meaning and can be similar to good, pleasant or enjoyable.

Are you having a nice day?
Have a nice holiday. See you next week!

If you add not in front of nice, it's the opposite meaning – not good or not enjoyable.

This soup doesn't taste nice. What's in it?
It's not nice to talk to people rudely.

We also use nice to describe people who are kind, polite or friendly.

How is your sister? She's such a nice person.
£50? For me? That's so nice of you!

Although nice is a useful word with a lot of meanings, there are usually alternative and more specific words that you can use instead, like 'good', 'pretty' or 'polite'.

Have a nice day!
