Translation:Food is delicious.

맛 is the flavor, the 있습(good) or 없씁(bad) that follows shows whether it's good or bad!
맛 means taste/flavor.
맛있다 means "to have taste; to taste good/delicious". 맛없다 means "to lack taste; to taste bad"
idk if the audio is bad or something but can someone explain the pronunciation of 맛있습니다 cuz i hear something more like 마시습니다. is it kinda like how english speakers would say "what aboutchyu" instead of "about you" or???
I think it is meant to sound more like "Mat-iss-seubnida", maybe it was because the person spoke too fast or maybe it is pronounce similar to 마시습니다
Originally the sound of ㅅ is similar to s however when it is used as the last character or as the last letter in a word it becomes ㄷ or d/t that is why 맛 is pronounced as mad/mat. But if we add the word 있습니다 the ㅅ from 맛 blends in wind the next syllable and becomes the sound of s.. I hope you get it I am bad at explaining T-T
The confusing part of this is the fact that:
1) 맛있습니다 sounds like "마싰습니다"
2) 맛없습니다 sounds like "맡+없습니다"
In the latter, the sound of ㅅ doesn't blend into the following syllable.
i wrote "the food is good" and duolingo said it's wrong. is it actually wrong or could it be accepted?
No I don't think so, the 맛 is specifically referring to flavor, you couldn't use this adjective for something that isn't food. I'm sure there's another word specifically for good, I don't know what it is though...
When I did that, it showed the correct translation however the only difference was that I wrote "The" and it said it was wrong because of that
The audio pronunciation of 맛있습니다 sounds as though it was written 마시슴니다. Did I hear it correctly, or are there nuances here that a Korean would hear which I cannot? I am aware of the assimilation causing the sound changes (ㅂㄴ→ㅁㄴ, for instance).
i wrote "food is yummy." and really wished I could add a smiley face, BUT I DIDN'T, so duolingo should've accepted it, but it didn't. :/
While the general meaning works (yummy = delicious), it would not work in a serious sense. The tone used in the sentence is more formal so saying something is yummy wouldn't be correct in this case.
TYSM!! So this is more formal, so there's a different word for like, friends and younger ones versus this word for bosses and older ones?
i want to ask a specific question how can we understand difference of "is" and "are" in korean
그녀(는) 거기에있다. (geunyeoneun geogieissda.) She is there.
그들(은) 거기에있다. (geudeul-eun geogieissda.) They are there.
는 - (neun) is 은 - (eun) are
They are what they call subject/topic markers. 는 is usually placed after a vowel. 은 is usually placed after a consonant. These are the grammar rules for the two.
I hope this helped a bit.
I know English, but I also learn it. As far as I know the plural form "food" is almost not used now. But the food can be plural. Is the option "The food are delicious" in terms of English?
If you're talking about the collective noun of "the food", it's singular.
Why do I feel like the pronunciation is wrong? I have seen so many Korean dramas but never really have heard anything like this
The text to speech software used for Korean is pretty bad at times. The pronunciation on this one isn't wrong at all, but comes out metallic since it's not from any actual person.
"Good food" would be "맛있는 음식" and in both languages, it's a noun and not sentence.
How to do you pronounce the word delicious in hangeul it is Maishi-iminida huhuhu i didn't how to pronouce in correct please help
Does 음식 need to be pluralized? I put "Foods are delicious" and it marked it wrong.
