Ways to say it
| Korean | Romanization | Note |

| 꿀맛 | kkulmat | slang |
| 존맛 | jonmat | slang, very casual, vulgar |
| 맛있다 | masitda | everyday |
꿀맛 is playful and safe among friends, and it can also describe a break or rest that feels sweet. 존맛 is common online and among young people but not polite.
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
Avoid 존맛 with elders or in formal settings. Use 맛있어요 (masisseoyo) there.
