how to say “delicious” in Hebrew

 

מְאֹד טָעִים
 

 

 

 

Yesterday, we saw that the ah-EE vowel pattern makes a Hebrew concept “-able” or “-ible”, as in the word for edible (“eat-able”)אָכִיל  .

 

Another word of the same structure is the one for tasty, or worthy of being tasted, able to be be tasted with pleasure: טָעִים  .

 

For example:

 

הָאֹכֶל שֶׁהֵכַנְתָּ מְאֹד טָעִים!
The food you (a male) prepared is very tasty!

 

 
To mean delicious, you’d simply say מאוד טעים  (very tasty) or נוֹרָא טָעִים  (terribly tasty). 
 
In the case of מאוד  , the order doesn’t change the meaning, so you can also say טעים מאוד  .
