Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
In a meme video, a guy is talking about his
past Spanish lessons. Just the word that I remember from
Spanish and just what it is. Then he proceeds to
eat something and says, oh is delicious. So all you

(00:22):
can remember to Let's learn additional words to spec uf
your vocabulary. In this episode of Speaking Spanish for beginners,
get a welcome to a new episode, Mayo Marco, your
Latino Spanish teacher. In this episode, you learn how to

(00:44):
describe flavors and espanel the clevier savories. So when you
share a meal with your amigos, you can compliment how
good the food taste. Are you ready for this, mama?
The guy in the audio is right. Delicious or deliciosa

(01:09):
is an adjective that means delicious. Repeat after me, delicio
so deliciosa. So if you're talking about lack comida food,
you can say lack comida is that deliciosa. Delicioso is

(01:31):
a strong emphatic word in Spanish. It means the food
is really good. It implies that the experience of eating
is memorable more than just the flavor. It's satisfaction at
its best. And here is a little secret that's why
a delicios It's a slang for another pleasurable activity, if

(01:58):
you catch my drift, El delicioso. But that's a topic
for a different episode. Next up, let's look at sabrosso.
Sabrosso or sabrosa means tasty, sabrosso sabrosa. This word is

(02:21):
related to sabor. Just like the lizioso, you can say
la co mida is ta sabrosa. It means the food
is tasty and flavorful. The focus with this word is
on the flavor, not the overall experience. That's why the
lizioso is a stronger compliment than sabrosso. But savrosso is

(02:46):
still a great way to praise the flavor of a
this La co mida is ta sabrosa. Now let's continue
with rico or rica. You might be thinking, but is
en Rico rich? And yes, you're right. Rico can describe

(03:08):
a wealthy person, but it's also commonly used to describe
how good food taste like me, that is that rica.
This option is more conversational, more natural. You'll hear it
all the time in every day speech. Elca festa rico
lost pacos stan ricos, la salsa sta rica. It's not

(03:33):
as strong as delicioso, but it's a bit stronger than sabrosso.
Using rico or rica makes your Spanish so more fluent
and natural because it's a very common alternative in casual conversation.
Cer rico so to recap delicious is fine, but you

(03:54):
can also use sabroso and rico. And now here is
a fan bonus, but this in the opposite sense. Let's
look at a word to spress disgust. Waggalla. This is
the word for yack or eg. We don't use yack
in Spanish. We say waggalla. Repeat after me waggalla. For example,

(04:23):
if someone adds pineapple to pizza, I'd say, m waggalla.
That's a big no no for me. Wagalla. Tell me
what is your big wagalla and that mess. Amigos. That's
all for today. Glassist Scutar speaking Spanish for beginners, I
