Talk:旨味

The "味" kanji shouldn't be ateji since it means "flavor." Dragonman9001 (talk) 23:19, 1 June 2020 (UTC)


 * , while the character indeed means, the -mi suffix in umami does not mean , and instead is a common suffix used to turn an adjective into a noun in a manner similar to the English suffix .  Since the character is used phonetically to spell something, it is technically ateji.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 23:34, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
