Explanation

Jovial is an adjective because it describes a quality or characteristic of a person. Jovial means cheerful, friendly, or full of high spirits. Adjectives modify nouns by describing their qualities. Since jovial describes someone's personality or demeanor, it functions as an adjective, not a noun (person/place/thing) or verb (action).
