Default Re: Do men often say "lovely" in England?

I didn't know that "lovely" can be used in so many ways. The Japanese word for "lovely" that most Japanese come up with is something like attractive or pretty. I wouldn't use the word to describe wads of banknotes.
And "lovely" could mean the opposite of wonderful, which is surprising to me
But doesn't it depend on how you say it? If so, I think I understand a bit of it.

I really appreciate your help. Thank you so much.
