oh sorry I'm only here live for this time every week so yes ohayo gozaimasu ID mmm you good morning and Takuya as well how is I mas welcome our Japanese viewers great alright let's begin today's topic if you're just joining today we're talking about food I'm going to explain some food related vocabulary words so I want to go beyond just saying like it's good or it's delicious or I don't like it like how can you explain yourself a little more clearly that's what I want to do today so today we're going to talk about of course some adjectives you can use for food but we're also going to talk about some emphasis words that you can use to kind of more deeply explain yourself so let's begin okay so first I want to introduce a couple of very general adjectives that we can use I'm going to use our whiteboard for today first I'm going to introduce these two first two words are tasty and yummy tasty and yummy so a couple very casual words we can use so first we're tasty tasty is used kind of casually we use this for just like everyday common foods there's no nuance of something like elegant there's no like refinement about something tasty it's just usually just a simple kind of easy food just thing we enjoy on an everyday basis so for example donuts are tasty I think something kind of simple is the nuance the second one I want to introduce today is yummy please be careful the pronunciation is yummy yummy you might hear people just say yum yum with no mm and why so yummy it's like it's like a childish word so this is again it's a very a casual word but kids use this word again for kind of simple maybe kind of like junky or sugary foods but most of the time children use the word yummy adults can use the word yummy to kind of create a nuance of like like a childlike enjoyment sort of thing so we don't really use yummy for like high-class or like really nice food it's nice things so for example we could say like cookies are yummy okay so these are the first two things that I want to mention I also want to mention a couple of vocabulary words for like like taste how we can describe taste a bit more so I'm gonna move on to a couple a couple of words many people confuse here next pair I guess is the word spicy and hot so spicy does not mean temperature hot however does mean temperature sometimes so one may be confusing point in English about this word hot can mean like peppers something that is like causes that sort of uncomfortable feeling in our mouth it's like ah if you feel like you want to drink milk or something we can use hot to describe that like hot salsa or hot peppers or something but we can also use hot to explain temperature like a food just fresh from the oven is hot the temperature is hot so we can use hot for both of those so as in the opposite of cold however spicy we cannot use to refer to temperature spicy only refers to like that uncomfortable pepper ish feeling in your mouth it's like it's kind of maybe makes you panic depending on your tolerance for this so we could say for example peppers are spicy or peppers are hot but please be careful we can use hot for both spicy and temperature but spicy is only used for that feeling that tastes okay a couple more words and then I'm going to ask you a question so please keep these words in your head please keep these words in your head I'm going to ask you a question soon okay next word I want to talk about is the word rich okay maybe you know about the word rich for people who have a lot of money so if you have a lot of money or if you know someone who has a lot of money you can use the word rich to describe that person he is rich she is rich but if you are talking about food you can use the word rich for something that has a really really deep flavor but the rich kind of has the nuance like of being very fatty so for example maybe there's a lot of butter in it something that's maybe it's probably high-calorie so maybe lots of butter or lots of dairy for example we can use the word rich to describe that so for example like gelato is rich which a lot of is rich so it has like that really creamy kind of deep taste about it mmm okay we're almost there we have 1 2 3 more words and then I'm going to ask you a question so I hope you're thinking about these think carefully about these all right next word to talk about is the word bitter I want to talk about the word bitter as well so we use the word bitter to talk about foods or drinks as well that have like a sharp they're almost unpleasant sometime taste so like foods or drinks that kind of maybe make your face like squeeze a little bit in response to them they're kind of they're they're very often kind of strongly flavored so for example if you drink beer maybe you know like IPAs Indian Pale Ales are bitter beers like they have a lot of a like bitter flavor or maybe like spinach is a bit bitter so maybe you know like Goya as well in Japan that's a very bitter food so bitter is another word I want to talk about today almost there next key word for today first set of key worth is the word savory savory is next I want to talk about so savory savory needs something that has a lot of flavor foods that have lots and lots of flavor but they're not really sweet so if you want to talk about a food that has a lot of flavor but it's really sweet you can use the word sweet if however it has a lot of flavor but it's not really sweet you can use the word savory so for example roast meats are savory so they tend to be more salty I think all right the final word I want to talk about before I ask you our first question is one we use a lot for desserts the word decadent decadent this is the last word in our first group today so we use it a lot for desserts for desserts so it's like something luxurious something that's maybe like a self-indulgent like we we have it just to enjoy like it's a like maybe even too much it's a little bit like beyond what we need to eat it's just for it's just for enjoyment it's something that's just so delicious or so high in calories are so rich for example something that is decadent so for example like chocolate cake is decadent decadent okay so we have this big list of adjectives we can use to talk about food given this and with the with the words you already know let's get to our first question for today so we have again we have this list you can choose from this list or you can choose something else but let's talk about your favorite dessert as the first question for today Louise I'm decadent that's funny so let's talk about the first question which is about your favorite dessert so you'll see it here in a second question one for today what is your favorite dessert oh and why do you like it our question is coming soon so what is your favorite dessert and why do you like it there it is what is you favorite dessert and why do you like it so let's think about it with these adjectives or with a different adjective that's fine so you can say I like a singular noun or like a um an uncountable noun so for example I like flourless chocolate cake because it's rich and decadent I could say or if you want to use the plural I like donuts because they're sweet I like donuts because they're sweet alright ah mell Cena has a great question on youtube what's the difference between bitter and sour sour has it's like an it's like an acidic it's like an acid sort of taste bitter doesn't have that acid feeling so sour we could say like citrus fruits are often sort of sourish I suppose or maybe like grapefruit is quite sour I kind of think that like some bitter foods can also be sour mm-hmm yep okay okay you are first is Emrys on on Facebook my favorite dessert I'll be careful dessert dessert has two S's dessert my favorite dessert is a banana split so again use the adjectives we just talked about why do you like it I like banana splits because they're what good Cristiano on YouTube I like ice cream because it's tasty nice red brandy tiramisu or brownies because they're rich and decadent very nice okay Mauricio on Facebook I like strawberry ice cream just because just because okay uh I Oleg Maura on YouTube I like lemon pie because it's decadent good yummy he or she comments great very nice dear may I like strawberry cake because it is decadent good garrison high garrison on Facebook I like cookies I like cookies plural plural I like cookies because they're sweet so remember your grammar for many of you actually I'm seeing many of you do this when you are talking generally about a about a noun a group of nouns you need to use the plural form I like donuts because they're blah blah blah I like cookies because they're blah blah blah mmm so keep in mind you're accountable and uncountable nouns cake is uncountable by the way cake is uncountable ice-cream is uncountable little review Messiah says I love got a shackle shkolu yeah because it's decadent yeah lots of decadent fans here for sure great okay excellent excellent sounds good so this is our first question for today we have lots to talk about so let's move on oh yes I need to share I want to share today is a perfect chance to talk about this actually for a few weeks we've been mentioning the free PDFs that we have on the website but today is a perfect chance to introduce the dining one so I've mentioned this before today I'm talking about adjectives that we can use to talk about food but actually this has like things you can use this this cheat sheet which you can get on the website it has things you can use if you go to a restaurant so you can find like the names of dishes so like appetizer or main dish we're talking about desserts now but you can find the names of dishes and then up here is like phrases you can use when you're actually at the at the restaurant so how to talk to waitstaff for example and then on the other side there's other stuff so foods for your your preferences these are types of foods but we're talking about adjectives adjectives so you can add the points we're talking about today to this chichi so if you don't have this you can download it free on the website I think there's a link in the description below this video on YouTube and above this video on Facebook so check that out if you have not already okay are they gonna see it now or no yep there it is good so if you have not seen this you can check this on the on English class 101.com or this is again linked below the video on youtube and above the video on Facebook so take a look there you can find this PDF that I just showed you or there are some other things that you can see some other different topics as well so check that out definitely check that out it is free to download you just log in with your account and you can access them right away so take a look definitely check those out alrighty then so if you are just joining us live today's topic is food we're talking about food vocabulary I've just introduced a few different adjectives we can use to describe food these are kind of positive words yeah so if you haven't please make sure to LIKE the video too it's very helpful so other people can find us yeah so like the video share the video and now we're going to continue on to our next topic so I talked a bit about some kind of positive words here at the beginning but I want to move on to describing sort of negative things about food so how do you talk about words or sorry how do you talk about foods that maybe you don't like things that you don't like about certain foods so let's move on to some kind of negative adjectives just a few just a few I know we have not a lot of time so let's look at the first one first sort of negative adjectives is the word greasy greasy I want to introduce Gracie Gracie this is we use greasy for like foods with hop that have a lot of oil there's a lot of oil or something sorry I produce our has written pizza I have pizza is usually pretty greasy so like a lot of fat maybe a lot of oil greasy typically is used in a negative way but since many junk foods are greasy we can like we can say positively like oh I love greasy foods sometimes or like I love greasy pizzas or like some people love greasy hamburgers we can say that too so that's one second maybe my least favorite actually I think this is my least favorite type of food personally is the word slimy even it even sounds bad I don't even like the word so the word slimy slimy is we use it for foods that are like kind of slick or like a little maybe a little bit sticky so imagine like raw egg like raw egg is slimy or like if some of you know nut though in Japan not though it's very slimy or like yeah raw egg is a good example not though what else anything that has that sort of kind of sticky kind of not quite liquid but not quite solid texture about it that's a slimy food so maybe like fish eggs as well I suppose yeah so some kind of slimy things okay then I want to go to maybe a couple a pair of words that are maybe important especially if you're at a restaurant and you need to make a statement this is not about necessarily the the taste of the food but the cooking of the food so here to pick a pair of words rather there's undercooked and overcooked undercooked and overcooked so undercooked means not cooked enough not cooked enough so if you're like steak is not cooked enough you can say it's undercooked undercooked food is usually well it can be dangerous it can be dangerous then overcooked over means too much cooked too much so overcooked not maybe not burned in some cases but just cooked too much so a steak again is a great example if you cook a steak too much it can become chewy chewy so that's the next word I want to talk about actually chewy so chewy something chewy it takes a long time to eat we have to we have to chew a lot too to eat these food so if you overcook an overcooked steak is often chewy it's often chewy we have to chew it a lot okay and then finally the final kind of negative word I want to talk about I'll put it in a different spot the last word I want to talk about is the word bland bland bland is a word we use to describe food that has it has very little flavor like it's sometimes foods are supposed to be bland sometimes that's fine but if you want to use sort of like a negative you want to create sort of a negative nuance like if you're eating for example I don't know some a food like a dessert and it should have a lot of flavor but it doesn't you can say this dessert is bland like it doesn't have much flavor sometimes foods should be bland like for example tofu is bland that's a bland food it doesn't have very much flavor on its own but that's just kind of its original taste okay so these are can be sort of negative words it depends on what you prefer but a different set of words so given these and our first group of words them let's reverse the question so our second question for today is what is your least favorite food what is your least favorite food and why what is your least favorite food and why so here I don't like blah blah blah because it's crazy I don't like peppers because they're spicy I don't like okra I don't like okra because it's slimy that's true so what's your least favorite food and why ahh Mahmood can we say a middle cooked no because middle cooked is generally like properly cooked middle cooked would mean like that's correct that's correct we don't use middle cooked okay so what is your least favorite food and why is it your least favorite food okay so yeah I don't like slimy foods I don't like pepper well I do I like peppers but many people don't like peppers because they are spicy okay I don't like okra because it's slimy okay anybody coming up some ones that I love french fries but they're too easy okay I love french fries mark says I don't like greasy foods okay greasy in general okay our producer says I don't like bell peppers because they're bitter oh okay okay not a bitter fan I like bell peppers I think I think they're good okay what else Minh lay on Facebook I don't like overcooked steak because it's chewy yes I agree I also do not like overcooked stink I don't like I don't like that one okay dearme on youtube says I don't like bacon because it's so greasy really I love bacon I love bacon but I I don't like greasy bacon no but I do love bacon it's good okay um what else I can't oh I don't like pizza because it's greasy okay we have a couple we have a couple different groups here pizza lovers and pizza pizza not lovers Luciano says I don't like squid because they're slimy and chewy I don't like squid because they're slimy and chewy hmm someone asked a question like the word plain up plain it's similar to bland yeah so plain someone asked about this word plain plai n plain we can use it for food it means food we did not add anything to so for example like toast if I make toast in the morning and I don't use butter I don't use any sauce or any topping I just eat the toast I could say it's plain toast there's no change to it no change to the food is plain so plain means unchanged no change to the food bland however means a no flavor or a little flavor so sometimes plain food is bland yes all right good nice ones guys okay I don't like undercooked chicken yes it's dangerous okay all right nice sentences guys okay we need to move on though to the next point or rather I think I need to if a lot of people have joined so I want to introduce again really quickly should I our points for today yeah okay a lot of people have just joined I think so I want to introduce again if you're just joining this week is about food we're talking about food vocabulary words so the team I have this week what you can download in the link below the video on YouTube and above the video on Facebook this dining food and dining related cheat sheets so how to like compliment and criticize oh we talked about this word earlier I said tasty tasty so tasty is like a casual word yeah but we talked about like this like it's raw so raw is the means not cooked at all or we talked about spicy too so some of these words are on the on the PDF but you can check the link below the video on YouTube and above the video on Facebook to get these for free just log into your account okay then oh yes and if you're just joining as well yeah just one more announcement our new series that's coming up this week the first one is going to be launched on Saturday I'm doing a Q&A series question and answer series on the channel on the YouTube channel now so you can submit your questions to me at English class 101.com slash ask - Alicia asked - Alicia so I'll show you the I'll show you that one more time in a couple of minutes but yeah submit your questions to me there okay we only have a couple minutes so I guess I'll finish up with a couple emphasizes is that okay producer can I finish that up sure okay great so um let's finish up today we have a lot of new adjectives if you missed it by the way if you are if you're watching live and you missed part of this we are going to upload the video to our YouTube and Facebook so check out all the vocabulary words we talked about but to finish today I want to talk about some emphasis words we can use so maybe you saw the video we put up last week I did a video a whiteboard video about the words really and very so how to use the words really and very if you missed it you can check that on the on the YouTube channel we can use the words really and very to emphasize our points so just remember you can check in the video too but we can use really in front of verbs but we cannot use very in front of verbs but other than that we can use them in the same way I do want to introduce a couple of casual emphasis words for food so we can use the words so and super to talk about food so instead of really or very we can use so or super before the adjectives so for example peppers are so bitter my smoothie or like my smoothie was so yummy for example or I could say the burger you made was super good it was super good so you can use so and super as sort of casual casual emphasis words in front of your adjectives instead of really and very okay and then I want to mention a couple kind of more food normal or maybe like higher-level emphasis words these are a bit longer but I think that they sound quite nice and you can give sort of stronger compliments if you use these words so these are incredibly and ridiculously incredibly and ridiculously so incredibly has the route incredible which means it's like extraordinary or it's hard to believe something and then ridiculously the root of this word is ridiculous so it means like extreme something that's extreme just be careful if you use a positive adjective after these it makes a really really nice meaning if you use a negative adjective after these it means it makes a very very negative meaning so you can these are very very versatile we can use them in many different ways so for example your roast chicken was incredibly good or that pepper is ridiculously spicy we can use these as well oh right I don't think there's any time for the last question is there I think I should stop right yeah I should stop okay I talked too much I have too many vocabulary words for
