The words “amicable” and “amiable” have similar meanings but are used in slightly different contexts.

“Amicable” is an adjective that describes a situation or a relationship that is characterized by peace and goodwill. It is often used to describe a resolution or agreement reached after a dispute or conflict, such as an amicable divorce or an amicable settlement.

“Amiable,” on the other hand, is an adjective that describes a person who is friendly, kind, and pleasant to be around. It is often used to describe someone’s personality or demeanor, such as an amiable host or an amiable conversation.

「amicable」と「amiable」は類義語であり、似たような意味を持ちますが、やや異なる文脈で使用されます。

「Amicable」は形容詞で、平和で親善的な状況や関係を表します。しばしば、紛争や衝突後に達成される解決や合意を表すために使用されます。例えば、「amicable divorce（友好的離婚）」や「amicable settlement（友好的解決）」などが挙げられます。

一方、「Amiable」は、友好的で親切で、周りの人々と一緒にいるのが楽しい人物を表す形容詞です。しばしば、人物の性格や態度を表すために使用されます。例えば、「amiable host（友好的なホスト）」や「amiable conversation（友好的な会話）」などが挙げられます。

したがって、「amicable」と「amiable」は両方とも友好的で親切な印象を与えますが、「amicable」は通常、状況や関係を表し、「amiable」は通常、人物の態度や性格を表します。
