How to Say ‘It is very delicious.’ in Simplified Chinese
很好吃。
hěn hǎo chī
[hun how chir]
💬 Usage Tip: With adjectives like [好吃], Chinese can make a full sentence without any word for "is": [很好吃] = "it's delicious." Also, [很] here often just makes the sentence sound complete, not necessarily "very."
