- 0:35Speaker 1: get a welcome to a new episode, Mayo Marco, your
- 0:40Speaker 1: Latino Spanish teacher. In this episode, you learn how to
- 0:44Speaker 1: describe flavors and espanel the clevier savories. So when you
- 0:50Speaker 1: share a meal with your amigos, you can compliment how
- 0:54Speaker 1: good the food taste. Are you ready for this, mama?
- 1:02Speaker 1: The guy in the audio is right. Delicious or deliciosa
- 1:09Speaker 1: is an adjective that means delicious. Repeat after me, delicio
- 1:15Speaker 1: so deliciosa. So if you're talking about lack comida food,
- 1:25Speaker 1: you can say lack comida is that deliciosa. Delicioso is
- 1:31Speaker 1: a strong emphatic word in Spanish. It means the food
- 1:36Speaker 1: is really good. It implies that the experience of eating
- 1:40Speaker 1: is memorable more than just the flavor. It's satisfaction at
- 1:45Speaker 1: its best. And here is a little secret that's why
- 1:51Speaker 1: a delicios It's a slang for another pleasurable activity, if
- 1:58Speaker 1: you catch my drift, El delicioso. But that's a topic
- 2:04Speaker 1: for a different episode. Next up, let's look at sabrosso.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Sabrosso or sabrosa means tasty, sabrosso sabrosa. This word is
- 2:21Speaker 1: related to sabor. Just like the lizioso, you can say
- 2:26Speaker 1: la co mida is ta sabrosa. It means the food
- 2:31Speaker 1: is tasty and flavorful. The focus with this word is
- 2:35Speaker 1: on the flavor, not the overall experience. That's why the
- 2:40Speaker 1: lizioso is a stronger compliment than sabrosso. But savrosso is
- 2:46Speaker 1: still a great way to praise the flavor of a
- 2:49Speaker 1: this La co mida is ta sabrosa. Now let's continue
- 2:57Speaker 1: with rico or rica. You might be thinking, but is
- 3:03Speaker 1: en Rico rich? And yes, you're right. Rico can describe
- 3:08Speaker 1: a wealthy person, but it's also commonly used to describe
- 3:12Speaker 1: how good food taste like me, that is that rica.
- 3:18Speaker 1: This option is more conversational, more natural. You'll hear it
- 3:22Speaker 1: all the time in every day speech. Elca festa rico
- 3:27Speaker 1: lost pacos stan ricos, la salsa sta rica. It's not
- 3:33Speaker 1: as strong as delicioso, but it's a bit stronger than sabrosso.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Using rico or rica makes your Spanish so more fluent
- 3:42Speaker 1: and natural because it's a very common alternative in casual conversation.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Cer rico so to recap delicious is fine, but you
- 3:54Speaker 1: can also use sabroso and rico. And now here is
- 3:59Speaker 1: a fan bonus, but this in the opposite sense. Let's
- 4:04Speaker 1: look at a word to spress disgust. Waggalla. This is
- 4:10Speaker 1: the word for yack or eg. We don't use yack
- 4:14Speaker 1: in Spanish. We say waggalla. Repeat after me waggalla. For example,
- 4:23Speaker 1: if someone adds pineapple to pizza, I'd say, m waggalla.
- 4:29Speaker 1: That's a big no no for me. Wagalla. Tell me
- 4:34Speaker 1: what is your big wagalla and that mess. Amigos. That's
- 4:38Speaker 1: all for today. Glassist Scutar speaking Spanish for beginners, I
