Or would that be more like 'agradable' or 'amable'? :) |
I didn't know there were another meaning for 'risueño', but the RAE says that this word means "de aspecto deleitable". I've never heard 'risueño' with this meaning, but for somebody who smiles a lot :)

El risueño sol de la tarde.
El azul risueño del cielo al medio día. |

I don't know if it personifies inanimate objects, but I've seen it used to describe a bright, crisp, beautiful, delightful sight. Something that inspires joy and a smile.

There are many better adjectives for a picture (bonita, divertida, agradable, encantadora...)
"Risueño" in that sense is used much more in poetic language. In general "risueño" is someone who smiles. I only posted the examples of the "strange" use, because some attention was set on it. :) |
I have a question in about the word smiling.
I'd like know the mean of the word smiling in Spanish. In that another way or other means has it in Spanish. Thank you for your support. |
Para mi una persona risueña es una persona que siempre está sonriendo. Para mi no tiene nada que ver con otros aspectos. Claro, si sonríes facilmente eres una persona agradable, no necesariamente bonita pero como dice mucha gente, "eres de sangrita liviana".
Crotalito..... Smile = Sonrisa smiling = sonriendo :twocents: |
