having fun

Enjoying oneself thoroughly

Enjoying oneself, experiencing pleasure or amusement.

The phrase describes a state of lighthearted engagement with an activity: Are you having fun?

We had fun at the beach.

Having fun can range from quiet satisfaction to boisterous excitement.

The phrase sometimes carries a teasing edge when posed as a question to someone clearly struggling: Having fun yet?
