"Vegetables taste good."

Translation: Legomoj bongustas.

[Andi_M]

"bongustas" = "gustas bone" are both correct..

[srtokes]

Report it if it marks you wrongly.

[BaconPhoenix]

Wouldn't it be "bona?" An adjective?

[AlexeiNewt]

An adjective is only used when it directly describes the noun, as in estas constructions. Since this is only describing how they taste and not the vegetables themselves, an adverb is used. It's not saying "Vegetables are good", only "Vegetables taste good", i.e. only the taste of vegetables themselves is good.

[ActualGoat]

I thought that, but it seems to be that after these verbs describing the subject, an adverb is used. I'm not exactly sure why.

[Andi_M]

Yes. "are good" = estas bonaj (adjective). "taste good" = gustas bone (adverb).
"Verdaj (adjective) legomoj gustas bone (adverb)" = green vegetables taste good. "verdaj" belongs to "legomoj", "bone" belongs to "gustas".

English->Esperanto "legomoj estas bongusta" would also work, right?

[FredCapp]

Sure. Some might even argue that it is a better way to say it.

[Revilo_N]

j! … bongustaj.

[Bellaby]

from which language does legomo come from? Just curious :)

[MathisGils]

In french vegetables are légumes. So I guess it comes from there

[Bellaby]

ah, thanks

[jgoriasilva]

In portuguese vegetables are legumes.

[jgoriasilva]

So maybe it comes from the Latin

[vincemat]

Romanian has a similar word also

[flootzavut]

One of the alternate sentences this time round was vegetarano bongustas. It's that bear again, isn't it?

[DarkXoa]

Vegetable is a culinary term used to describe savory fruits. Legomoj estas fruktoj!

[GreanThom]

Whoops! Accidentally said "vegetarians taste good" XD
