How it is usedThe opposite of 맛있어요 (masisseoyo). Note the pronunciation: although it is spelled 맛없어요, the ㅅ of 맛 is pronounced as ㄷ, so it sounds like [마덥써요] ma-deop-sseo-yo, not ma-seop-seo-yo. Learners who read it letter by letter get this wrong. Take care with it: the two phrases differ by one syllable, so saying this to someone who has just cooked for you is a common and memorable mistake.
