Nice, pleasant, likeable — said about people.
The compliment Spaniards reach for when someone is genuinely pleasant company. "Es muy maja" is high praise and very common. It describes character rather than looks, and there is no clean single-word English equivalent.
Almost unused in Latin America, where "simpático" covers this ground.
Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to Spanish (Spain) Spanish — it uses majo the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook Spanish (Spain) Spanish.
