I could just picture him gobbling up the chocolates as he was talking! And then the strange fact that the hand-made chocolates were from Take, and his extreme difficulty to get that name past his lips. I had to refrain from rolling on the train carriage floor with laughter! Yoshi-kai’s portrayal of the boss was so vivid! I could just picture him gobbling up the chocolates as he was talking!

He's one of my special ed students and before he came into the teacher's office, I could here the tannin sensei coaching him on the appropriate Japanese to use. But, he could pull out the "Thank you very much" on his own. I got some 手作り世話チョコ from one of my students today.

So compared to ’美味い’、’旨い’ has a wider range of usage. Say, if you were invited to a dinner party, you hated the food there, but you can still use 'umai', either because you liked the atmosphere there, or just for better etiquette. ^_^ Laura-san, that human-faced dog is really horrifying, although other combinations of animal-human can be cute. ななか Nathan-san, thanks for your explaination.

No worries :grin: kimochi ga warui + kawaii = kimokawa (キモカワ) Sort of horrifying, but you still kind of like it. It's tempting to ask for more usage examples :twisted: Eranさん、Thanks for the reply.
