맛있다
masitda · TOPIK 1
to be delicious, tasty
😋🍲 맛있다 = 맛 (taste) + 있다 (to exist): taste exists, so it is delicious
Korean says a food has taste to mean it is tasty. The opposite swaps in 없다 (to not exist): 맛없다 = taste is absent, so it tastes bad. Learn the pair together and you get two words from one pattern.
