有趣 (yǒu qù) means interesting, fun, or amusing. 有 means to have and 趣 means interest or delight, so the literal sense is to have appeal. It describes people, topics, stories, activities, or objects that hold one's attention or provoke curiosity. The antonym is 无聊 (wú liáo, boring). 有趣 is a descriptive adjective (有趣的事情, an interesting thing) and can be used predicatively (这很有趣, this is very interesting).
