dolĉe.
The child slept sweetly.

stretches across taste and manner exactly as English sweet does, so a wine, a voice and a memory can all take it without anyone blinking. The opposite depends on which sense you mean: a for the taste (though is the ordinary word for bitter), or for the manner. is a sweet as an item of confectionery, i is to sweeten, and o the quality. The word skews slightly literary in the manner sense - in speech people reach for more often.
