delicious vs tasty
「delicious」強調食物極度美味，令人愉悅；「tasty」則較為通用，指食物味道好，但程度較輕。
delicious vs yummy
「delicious」是標準形容詞，適用於各種場合；「yummy」是較為兒童化或隨意的口語詞。
delicious vs delectable
兩者皆指非常美味，但「delectable」更為正式、優雅，且帶有文學或美食評論色彩。

×This is a delicious.
✓This is delicious.
"Delicious" is an adjective, not a noun. It cannot be used with an article (a/an/the) by itself to mean "a delicious thing."
×The cake is very delicious.
✓The cake is delicious.
"Delicious" is already a strong adjective meaning "extremely good to taste or smell." Using "very" with it is redundant and unnatural in most contexts. Use "absolutely," "really," or "incredibly" for emphasis if needed.
×She is a delicious person.
✓She is a delightful / charming person.
"Delicious" is used almost exclusively for food, drink, or sometimes smells. It is not used to describe people's personality. Use words like "delightful," "charming," or "lovely" instead.
×The fruits are deliciouss.
✓The fruits are delicious.
Adjectives in English do not change form for singular or plural nouns. "Delicious" remains the same regardless of the noun it modifies.
×This is more delicious than that.
✓This is more delicious than that. (Acceptable but often unnatural) / This tastes better than that.
While grammatically possible, native speakers often avoid "more/most delicious" because "delicious" is a strong adjective. Using comparative/superlative forms of "good" (better/best) or "tasty" is more common and natural in everyday speech.
×It tastes deliciously.
✓It tastes delicious.
After sense verbs like "taste," "smell," "look," and "feel," we use an adjective (delicious) to describe the subject, not an adverb (deliciously). The adverb would describe *how* the action of tasting is performed.
