そいつ -a person or a thing?


If i say そいつは笑える would it be translated to "that's funny" or " that would have
made him laugh" ?




In 99% of the cases, そいつは笑える (literally "That's laughable") should mean
"That's funny". Another possibility, although a very small possibility, is
"That person is able to laugh".

There is no way it can be interpreted as "That would have made him laugh"
because there is no causative sense nor subjunctive mood in this sentence.
