How do you use half-hearted in a sentence?

Answer 1

His reply was half-hearted. / She half-heartedly wrote the list.

This word just means to do something without putting your whole heart and soul into it. Like when you have something more important on your mind, or if you don't think you can be passionate about something, you might do it, but only do it half-heartedly. It's an adverb.

Answer 2

As an adjective. For example: "That sounds great" John said halfheartedly after his grandmother insisted on ordering Chinese food(his least favorite)
