Where sense of humor is concerned; as per Wikipedia “Humour or humor is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement.”. When it comes to good and bad sense it comes to state of mind.

Example sentence(s):
  • He has a good sense of humour, He has a poor sense of humour, He has a bad sense of humour
  • उसे समझदारी है, वह नासमझ है, वह नादान है
