뜻
Used to describe food that tastes very good.
문화적 배경
The French 'Art de Vivre' places the meal at the center of social life. Complimenting the food is not just polite; it's a way to acknowledge the host's taste and effort. In Quebec, you might hear 'C'est écoeurant !'. While 'écoeurant' literally means 'disgusting' in France, in Quebec slang, it means 'insanely good' or 'delicious'. Belgians share the French love for gastronomy. Using 'C'est délicieux' for a 'gaufre' {la|f} or 'frites' {les|f} is very common and appreciated. In French-speaking Switzerland, dining is often formal. 'C'est délicieux' is the perfect safe, polite compliment for a fondue or raclette dinner. In countries like Senegal or Ivory Coast, food is often shared from a communal plate. Saying 'C'est délicieux' is a way to honor the 'maman' who cooked.
The 'C'est' Rule
Remember that 'C'est' is your best friend. It makes the grammar easy because you don't have to worry about the gender of the food.
Avoid 'Très'
Native speakers rarely say 'très délicieux'. It's like saying 'very excellent'. Use 'vraiment' or just 'délicieux' on its own.

Adding an 'Mmm' before the phrase makes it sound much more natural and enthusiastic.
