"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! :)

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

[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!

Can someone help me with pronunciation? I still don't quite understand how to say the letters

[Pepbob]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

[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".

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").

[Maksimum.Power]

How do we tell thr difference between masculine or feminine nouns??

[Jellei]

You look at the basic, Nominative singular form of the noun.

If it ends with a consonant, it's probably masculine.

If it ends with -a, it's probably feminine.

If it ends with -o, -e, -ę, -um, it's neuter.

You'll encounter exceptions, even in some basic vocabulary, but most nouns will work as above.

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

[deactivated user]

Cant smaczne be translated to delicious? Tasty is not something that people usually say...

[Jellei]

We believe that "delicious" is a stronger word and it translates to "pyszne".

[JemappelleMaya]

Smaczne cannot be also delicious?

[Jellei]

We believe that "delicious" is a stronger word and it translates to "pyszne".
