How to Say ‘This is delicious.’ in Traditional Chinese
這很好吃。
zhè hěn hǎo chī
[juh huhn how-chrr]
💬 Usage Tip: With adjectives like [好吃], Chinese usually doesn't need a word for "is": [這很好吃] is literally "this very tasty." Also notice [很] here often just makes the sentence sound complete, not necessarily "very."
