Spell Bee Word: Tasty


What does tasty mean?

Word: Tasty

Part of Speech: Adjective

Meaning: Tasty means having a nice flavour; good to eat.

Synonyms: delicious, yummy

How do you spell tasty?

Syllables: tast - y

Tricky part: There is no e before the y. Children who know the word for the flavour of food often keep its silent e and write tastey.

Watch out for: tasti, tastee

Memory tip: No e before the y: tasty ends in a plain y, just like salty and spicy.

Tasty in a sentence

Example 1: Nani makes tasty laddoos for Diwali.

Example 2: The hot pakoras were very tasty.

Example 3: Is the soup tasty or does it need salt?

Fun Fact

Much of what we think of as flavour really comes from smell, so food can seem less tasty when you have a blocked nose.
