"커피는 맛없어요."

Translation: Coffee tastes bad.

[habibaellamey]

As a coffee addict I strongly disagree D:

[SvedishPlumber]

I disagree with this more than even "a bed is food"

[Lilli848718]

I'm with you there

'맛없다' literally translates as "tasteless" - typically implying a negative context, in which case both "tastes bad" and "is tasteless" should be accepted.

[Nicofiesta]

Litterally "has no taste"?

[shimanni]

Yes. 맛 corresponds to the hanja 味 (flavor/taste).

[LiKenun]

It corresponds, but does not represent it. 味 is not a drop-in substitute for 맛.

[elchorizo]

What is this nonsense? Makes as much sense as "a bed is food".

[Lilli848718]

Ikr

[curiouscait]

Is 맛없어요 pronounced 'mateopseoyo' or 'maseopseoyo'?

[Ash-Fred]

It is pronounced [마덥써요].

[AndreiChichizola]

Why? Is ㅅ before ㅇ pronounced like ㄷ ??

[josueetcom]

I think it's because it's pronounced as two words 맛 and 없어요. But I guess that raises the question, why is 맛있어요 pronounced as one word while 맛없어요 is pronounced as two?

[pluureng]

맛없다 uses an irregular orthography.

[Lilli848718]

Thx so much

[Andy513708]

No, but ㅅ at the end of a syllable is pronounced like ㄷ.

[goohayoon]

Nope. ㅅ before ㅇ is pronounced like ㅅ.
But this word 맛없어요 is an exception.

[Cici455680]

YES YES YES!

[GeorgeFred12]

So "Coffee has no taste" isn't acceptable?

[echoz0e]
