معنی
Praising food.
زمینه فرهنگی
Praising the cook is essential. If you don't say 'Είναι νόστιμο', the host might think you are sick or unhappy. It's common to say it multiple times during a meal. In Cyprus, food portions are often large. Saying the food is 'νόστιμο' is often followed by a comment on how full you are, which is also a compliment. In the diaspora, 'Nostimo' is often used as a brand name for restaurants or food products to evoke a sense of authentic Greek flavor. Foodies in Athens use 'νόστιμο' as a baseline. To sound more 'in the know', they might use 'ψαγμένο' (sophisticated/searched out) for unique flavors.
The 'Mmm' Factor
In Greece, it's very natural to make an 'Mmm' sound before saying 'Είναι νόστιμο'. It adds sincerity.
Gender Matters
Always check if the food is masculine, feminine, or neuter. Using the wrong ending is the most common A1 mistake.

You say 'Δεν είναι νόστιμο'. However, it's quite blunt. 'Δεν μου αρέσει πολύ' (I don't like it much) is softer.
