"Jedzenie jest smaczne."

Translation: The food is tasty.

[PerunBolt]

An interesting fact that in Ukrainian, we say: "Смачного!" Pronounced as "Smachnoho!" in English) before we start a meal - it's similar to the French "Bon appetite!"
Then the other person replies: "Дякую, заімно"! "Dyakuyu, zayimno!" (Which basically means: "Thank-you, may it taste well for you!")

Thought I'd add this to this 'tasty' conversation! :)

*взаємно/wzajemno or навзаєм/nawzajem

[Torsby]

Why does the adjective take the accusative case? Or doesn't it? Because the hint shows pl. acc.

[vytah]

Adjectives get -e ending in:

• nominative/accusative neuter singular (although some adjective-like words have -o)

• nominative/ accusative non-masculine-personal plural

In this sentence, it's nominative singular.

Ah, dziękuję bardzo!

[dont_tread_on_me]

After a verb like jest, jestem, jestes, etc., is the ending of the adjective always -e?

[deactivated user]

No, there is no connection between them. It is "smaczne" because "jedzenie" is a neutral noun. If there were "obiad" instead of "jedzenia", then the ending would be "y", so it would be "smaczny obiad" because "obiad" is a masculine noun. If there were a feminine noun, then the ending would be "a", so it would be "smazcna".

How come "This" food is tasty doesn't work?

[timstellmach]

There's no reason it should. "This food" would be "To jedzenie."

"Jedzenie" by itself could mean "the food" (whatever particular food was previously or obviously indicated) or simply "food" in general. But neither "the food already indicated" nor "food in general" means the same thing as "this food."

"The meal is tasty." wasn't accepted. Why?

[timstellmach]

If you said "meal," I assume it wasn't accepted because "jedzenie" is "food." "Meal" is "posiłek."

[JaydanKyle]

what is the difference between smaczy and smaczne

[Jellei]

All adjectives have to agree with the gender of the noun they describe. "smaczny" is for masculine nouns, like "smaczny obiad". "smaczne" is either for neuter nouns ("smaczne jedzenie") or for 'not masculine-personal plural ("smaczne jajka").

Did you mean: Food is tasty except for sweet potatoes ?

[shairGorgi]

One thing i don't like about these lessons is that they don't explain when to use declension.
