常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Yummy"?Which "Yummy" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×This cake has a yummy.
✓This cake is yummy.
"Yummy" is an adjective, not a noun. It describes the quality of something, so it should be used with linking verbs like "is," "tastes," or "smells," not as an object that something "has."
×The chef prepared a yummy gourmet meal for the formal dinner.
✓The chef prepared a delicious/delectable gourmet meal for the formal dinner.
"Yummy" is informal and childlike. It is not suitable for formal writing or describing sophisticated cuisine. Use more formal synonyms like "delicious," "delectable," or "flavorful" in such contexts.
×This pizza is more yummy than that one.
✓This pizza is yummier than that one.
Although "yummy" is informal, its standard comparative and superlative forms are "yummier" and "yummiest." Using "more yummy" is grammatically understandable but sounds unnatural to native speakers.
×He is a yummy guy.
✓He is handsome/charming. / The food he cooks is yummy.
"Yummy" is almost exclusively used to describe food, drink, or sometimes the smell of food. It is not used to describe a person's appearance or personality. Using it for people is incorrect and can sound strange.
×The soup is very yummy.
✓The soup is really yummy. / The soup is so yummy.
While not grammatically wrong, "very yummy" is less common in natural, casual speech. Native speakers, especially children or in informal settings, more frequently use intensifiers like "really," "so," or "super" with "yummy."
