松软

sōngruǎn

When we describe something as being soft and fluffy, especially food items like cakes or bread, we often use the adjective 松软 (sōng ruǎn).

Think of it as a combination of 'loose' or 'fluffy' (松) and 'soft' (软). So, if you're baking a perfect cake, you want it to be very 松软.

It's also used for things like soft soil or even a fluffy blanket.

It's a really useful word to describe texture, particularly in the kitchen!
