甘い
あまい · amai · JLPT N5 · i-adj
sweet
🍯 amai sounds like ah, my! — what you say tasting something sweet
甘い (amai) means sweet in taste, and by extension soft or generous toward someone — being sweet on them, lenient. Say ah, my! at a sugary bite and you have the sound. The same word covers a sweet cake and a too-lenient teacher.
