    enjoy is a verb, enjoyable is an adjective, enjoyment is a noun:I enjoy old movies. Those days at the beach were enjoyable times. We shared a lot of enjoyment back then.
    The verb enjoy usually takes an object, except for the very informal use of definition 3, where it is often used as a request or suggestion; for this meaning, enjoy yourself is still more usual. Note also that enjoy may be followed by the -ing form of a verb:I enjoy hiking/running/walking, but not by the infinitive, or to + verb form. It differs therefore from like, a verb with similar meaning, which may take either the -ing form or the to + verb form.
