![]() Just as with “oishii” you can also add the sentence-ending particles “ ne” and “ yo” after “ oishii desu” to add softness and/or emphasis. Explaining the real meaning of “desu” goes beyond this blog post, so just try to keep in mind that saying “ oishii desu” (美味しいです) will sound politer and more formal. In formal situations with coworkers or your boss, it is better to use the politer version and add the word “ desu” (です). It’s so delicious! (sounds pretty stronger) It’s delicious, isn’t it? (sounds softer) “ Ne” (ね) and “ yo” (よ) are sentence-ending particles and they add softness and/or emphasis. In anime and daily life, you will also often hear the expressions “ Oishii ne” (美味しいね) and “ Oishii yo!” (美味しいよ). Since in Japanese, it is common to omit parts of a sentence like for example the subject and the topic, just the word oishii (美味しい) by itself can also mean “ It’s delicious“, “ It’s tasty“, “ This is delicious“, or “ This is tasty“. However, the word is used so frequently that it actually rather means “ This tastes good” than “Oh my god! This is so delicious!”. Oishii (美味しい) means “ delicious” or “ tasty” and is the most commonly used word to express that something tastes good in Japanese. Further down below I will also cover how you can say “ so delicious“, “ very delicious“, and “ looks delicious” in Japanese. Read on if you want to know all of the 12 ways to say that something is delicious in Japanese and learn in detail when to use each of the expressions and words. In formal situations, it is better to use the politer “Oishii desu” (美味しいです) or “Oishii desu ne” (美味しいですね). The words by themselves can also be translated as “This is delicious”. Oishii (美味しい) and umai (うまい) are the two most commonly used words to say “delicious”, “tasty”, or “yummy” in Japanese. Since most of them are dialects I want to focus on the 12 best and most common ways to say “ This is delicious” in Japanese. I don’t know as I’ve never really sent it or received it during any of my text conversations.Did you know that there are actually more than 47 ways to say “ delicious” or “ tasty” in Japanese? Each prefecture in Japan has its own distinctive expression to state that something is delicious or tastes good. I hear that the emoji on the phone gets sent to people with kind of a sarcastic tone. Something like an A or A+ on the grade could get a stamp. Of course, it would only be used on the ones that the teacher considered high quality. ![]() This is actually a real stamp that gets used by teachers in Japan when grading student’s work. 大変よくできました (taihen yoku dekimashita) means “ you did very well” on your task. So now you can interpret the red stamp’s meaning. It might even be what your tutor tells you after you’ve finished your Japanese lesson for the day. One of the easy ways to say you can do something in Japanese is to take a verb in its simplest form and add ことができます (koto ga dekimasu).īut getting back to the topic at hand, the phrase よくできました (yoku dekimashita) actually means “well done” and is told to someone after they’ve done a good job at some task. The word できました is the past tense form of the word できる (dekiru) which means “to be able to do” or how we would use the word “can” as in “I can do it.” In that red stamp emoji, both よく and できました are both written in hiragana, which I think is more common. The word よく can also means “often” in certain contexts.Īs for the second word (dekimashita) it also gets written in both its kanji form and its hiragana form a lot. The first word (yoku) gets written in both kanji and kana a lot as either 良く or よく and it’s an adverb that means “nicely, good, or well” in English. The second and third words get used together a lot without 大変 added on. ![]() The other thing is that it can be used by itself to say that something is “tough” or “difficult.” Referring to the example sentence above, it would probably make more sense to interpret it as “terribly” rather than “very.” Something about the word 大変 is that even though it means “very” in English, the word usually brings with it a negative connotation. Saki hodo wa taihen shitsurei shimashita. It usually gets used as a more formal version of the word とても (totemo) which means “very.” Let’s say that you missed a call from an important customer, you might start off the conversation when you contact them with: The first part of the stamp is the word 大変 (taihen), which is written with the kanji for “big” and also the kanji for “change.” 3) The Meaning of the Stamp What Does TAIHEN Mean in Japanese?
