I actually typed in This food is evil and it accepted

[deactivated user]

Why?

[PonyDesu]

meal = posiłek

food = jedzenie

[Trofaste]

Does this mean bad as in moldy, bad as in not tasty, or both?

And if the food is evil, is this how you say it?

[Jellei]

For 'moldy' we would rather use a more specific word ("spleśniałe", probably).

Most probable interpretation is "not tasty" ("niesmaczne"), although actually "evil" also works.

[Trofaste]

Thanks a lot! Now I'm trying to think of any evil foods... Possibly the "evil green bullets" (brussels sprouts)?

The vegan knows what evil food is! xD

Jellei, I'd say "zepsute"

[Jellei]

"zepsute" sounds more probable, I guess, but it's wider in meaning than "moldy"... I guess in English we say that "food has gone bad" and "zepsute" works well for that.

[Debussy001]

How strongly worded is this? Is this "the food doesn't taste too great" or is it "the food is disgusting and inedible"?

[Jellei]

"really bad", I guess.

But frankly, I personally wouldn't consider this sentence to be a very natural one. "kiepskie" ('rather bad') seems more probable, or "niesmaczne" ('untasty'). And then some stronger words like "fatalne" (reaaaaaaally bad), "obrzydliwe" (disgusting) and "niejadalne" (inedible).

[Debussy001]

Ok, thank you very much! :)

[GreenAirSheep]

This means "This food is wrong"

[espeket]

I don't think it's a possible translation here.

Czy food nie może być uzywane zamiennie z eating?

[Jellei]

"eating" nie jest rzeczownikiem. Nie można powiedzieć "this eating".
