Convivial

An adjective, convivial has three closely-related meanings. It can indicate a friendly or agreeable person or place as in "Kumar was very convivial person" or "Texas is a convivial state." Take care when using convivial, however, as it also means a fondness for partying, feasting, or general merry-making. It also describes such a feast itself. In other words, convivial doesn't just mean friendly but in its fuller sense means socialble in that a person who is convivial is likely to be at a party eating, drinking, and talking or a convivial place is a good location to party hearty. The word derives from the latin convivum (banquet) . Convivum itself derives from the latin verb vivare which means to live.
