ملاحظات الاستخدام

Delicious is an extreme adjective, meaning it already implies 'very tasty.' For this reason, it is more natural to use it with 'absolutely' than with 'very.'

⚠️

أخطاء شائعة

Learners often say 'more deliciouser' or 'most deliciousest.' Because it is a long adjective, you should use 'more delicious' or 'most delicious,' though it is rarely compared because it is already an absolute state.
