Is Girl Dinner still a thing?:Mini Japanese Lesson

Let's jump in on how to talk about our likes and dislikes when it comes to food.

🍜To say "I don't like _____" in Japanese, you can use the phrase "_____ が嫌いです" (_____ ga kirai desu).

For example:

I don't like vegetables:

野菜が嫌いです (Yasai ga kirai desu).

🍜To say "I like _____" in Japanese, you can use the phrase "_____ が好きです" (_____ ga suki desu).

For example:

I like sushi:

寿司が好きです (Sushi ga suki desu).

🍜To express "tasty" in Japanese, you can use the word "美味しい" (oishii). On the other hand, for "not tasty" or "not delicious," you can use "美味しくない" (oishikunai). Here are examples:

Tasty: 美味しい (Oishii).

(past tense):美味しかった (Oishikatta).

Not tasty: 美味しくない (Oishikunai).

(past tense):美味しくなかった (Oishikunakatta).

Now for my review, I'll keep it short.

⭐️ 総合評価: 3/5: カプリコあたまチョコレート。

Sougou hyouka: 3/5: Kapuriko atama chokorēto. Amasugimasu.甘すぎます. (It was too sweet)

⭐️ 総合評価: 4/5: ボバコーヒー。

Sougou hyouka: 4/5: Boba kōhī.

(Oishikatta desu!) 美味しかったです!

⭐️ 総合評価: 3/5: ハローキティの辛いインスタントラーメン。

Sougou hyouka: 3/5: Harō kiti no karai insutanto rāmen. (Karai desu) 辛いです. (It's spicy)

Also when I poured the powdered flavoring it tickled my nose and I didn't like that lol.

Have you tried these? Oishikatta desu ka?
