Also means
kind
Usage Note
nett means 'nice, kind' of people, but beware: said of an idea or gift it can sound faintly damning, like English 'that's nice'. Das ist nett von dir ('that's kind of you') is a common thank-you. Don't confuse it with English 'neat'.
Examples
"Er ist ein netter Mensch."
Natural Translation
He's a nice person.
