Loving

Can you say: Language can be lovingly romantic when used correctly.
  

Top answer

This is grammatical, but something like this would not be said in English. The phrase "Language can be lovingly romantic" would not be used - of course language can be lovingly romantic; it can also be violently offensive, etc. This is just too obvious to be stated in English.

I answered you before when you asked about this. Yes, you can say that, sort of. It's really the person using the language who is being lovingly romantic. Loving requires action, and an abstract thing like language can only be loving in special contexts like this one.
