This dish very delicious (这道菜非常美味) — Chinglish Slang

Slang Name：This dish very delicious

Chinese：这道菜非常美味

Type：Food & Drink / Chinglish Slang

English：
A textbook example of Chinglish food praise: "this dish is very delicious." The error is using "very" to modify "delicious" — since "delicious" already means "very tasty," you shouldn't say "very delicious" in standard English. But in Chinglish, rules are made to be broken, and this phrase is the most common restaurant compliment.

中文：
中式英语赞美食物的教科书级例子："这道菜非常美味。"错误在于用"very"修饰"delicious"——因为"delicious"已经表示"非常好吃"，标准英语不能加"very"。但在中式英语里，规则就是用来打破的，这个短语是最常见的餐厅赞美。

Chinese English learners often use "very delicious" because the Chinese "非常好吃" (fēi cháng hǎo chī) literally translates to "very good eat." In Chinese, intensifiers like "very" are used freely before adjectives, and this transfers directly to English. "Very delicious" is arguably the most common Chinglish food phrase, used by millions of Chinese speakers worldwide.

中文：中国英语学习者常使用"very delicious"，因为中文"非常好吃"直译就是"very good eat"。在中文中，像"very"这样的强化词可以自由地用于形容词前，这种现象直接转移到了英语中。"Very delicious"可以说是最常见的中式英语食物短语，被全球数百万中文使用者使用。
