"이 파스타는 특히 맛없어요."

Translation: This pasta tastes especially bad.

[Druckles]

How would you say, "This pasta doesn't taste especially good?"

[Ash-Fred]

이 파스타가 특히 맛있지는 않아요.

Note here that particle 는 does not necessarily have to come after a noun!

I want to use 80s-90s slang grammar to translate your sentence.
"This pasta tastes especially good... not!"

[EricThomse1]

"This pasta is especially bad tasting." is not accepted.

[Juan610713]

Couldn't "This pasta especially tastes bad" also work?

[TeoJr]

Sounds weird in English...

[jocundJ.]

That was my answer but it was not accepted huhuhu

[SvedishPlumber]

That would place the emphasis on pasta, rather than the taste.

I.E. This pasta (as opposed to other pastas, or another pasta at a restaurant) tastes bad.

[Jeong-JinL]

Yeah it sounds weird for that word. "Particularly" could be in either of those syntactic positions, though.

[Kwang-Joon]

Why "awful" cannnot be the answer?

[Shelly490205]

Distinction between quite bad and especially bad what is?

[Jeong-JinL]

"Especially" is almost like "uniquely." It stands out and may be unforgettable. "Quite" is just like "very, very."

[dearhamsammich]

I had "This pasta tastes particularly bad." Not sure what the distinction is between especially and particularly in this case.

[Ash-Fred]

"This pasta tastes particularly bad." is now accepted.

What about "this pasta is especially bad"?

[AmandaStok10]

맛없어요 vs. 없어요. Tasteless/bad tasting vs. ...is bad.
