So טעים can be either 'delicious' or 'tasty' depending on the context?

    Would "the tasty food" be - האוכל הטעים ?

        Can אוכל also mean "meal"?

          No, אוכל just means food, if you want to say meal use - ארוחה

              As an Arabic speaker I find this familiar and easy to understand .

                Delicious? I've known טעים as delicious, but could be wrong. תודה

                    Yes, it's not definite.

                      Not definitive? There is a hey in front of the noun, isn't there? What am I missing?

                      I meant your version is not definite

                        When do we pronounce the definite article ה as ha- / ah- / hé-( I think this one passed before, but I'm not sure)

                        ?

                          Always "ha". The Hebrew h sound is pretty weak, so can sound like "a" at times.

                          In "proper" speech it can be "he" before guttural consonants (ע/ח), but no one says it like that unless they're trying to be very formal.

                              If only by sound how do we recognize "ta- טע" from "ta-תא" in "ta EEm"

                                In modern Hebrew the sound is the same, unfortunately.
