Yes, that's correct! Sweet has a meaning similar to charming, lovely, agreeable, or great. It's used to describe people who have a pleasant, kind, and welcoming personality. Ex: Wow, you're so sweet! I can't believe you planned this amazing party for my birthday. Ex: My boyfriend is really sweet. He's always considerate and understanding with me.
