How it is usedSaid about food you are eating or have just tasted, most often to the person who cooked or served it. This is the polite 해요 form, right for colleagues, hosts and people you have just met. The opposite is 맛없어요 (madeopsseoyo), it tastes bad, and the two differ by one syllable, so learners mix them up often.
