Agreeable usually means pleasant or nice - an agreeable person is easy to get along with, and agreeable weather is nice weather. It's a slightly formal or old-fashioned way to say 'nice,' more common in writing than casual speech. It also has a second, more practical meaning: willing to accept a plan or suggestion - 'if that time is agreeable to you' means 'if that time works for you and you're willing to accept it.'
令人愉快的、討喜的(人、天氣等,語氣稍正式);願意接受的(對計畫、提議)
