Question 7

맛없어요

Answer 7

It’s not tasty. It’s not delicious. It tastes awful. Note that the pronunciation of the last letter in 맛, which is ㅅ, changes according to the word that follows it.
When it is NOT followed by any word, it’s pronounced as [t], ending the word there. When it is followed by
있어요, it becomes an [S] sound, making 맛있어요 pronounced as [ma-si-sseo-yo]. When it is followed
by 없어요, it becomes a [D] sound, making 맛없어요 pronounced as [ma-deop-seo-yo]

잘 먹겠습니다

Answer 10

잘 먹겠습니다 [jal meok-ge-sseum-ni-da] literally means “I am going to eat well.” or “I will eat well.” (Don’t
worry about the grammar that is used here yet. Just learn this as a set phrase for the time being.) And this
expression is used very frequently among Koreans when they are about to start eating a meal, usually regardless
who’s paying for the meal.
