Loving day vs lovely day

[Waiyin Cheng]

a friend of mine wrote a sentence "happy loving day". I think it should be "happy lovely day". What is the different meaning for this 2 sentences ? which one is right ?. Anyway, loving , lovely both are adj. For me, loving is only in the sentence like "I'm still loving you...", loving cannot modify the "thing", only "person" is allowed the modify meaning with loving. That's my personal view. Hope you can help me. Thanks .

I agree with you.

A loving person
A lovely day

Thanks, Mordant. So basically, it depends about the person or things to determine using lovely or loving. How about the meaning, are they the same ?

[Mordant]

No, the meaning is not the same.

"Loving," as the appearance of the word implies, means that one loves generously by disposition. A thing is not capable of loving.

"Lovely" means "wonderful."

While I'm back on this, I should note that a person can be either.
