Mar 3, 2023I have a lot of respect for non-English speakers who learn English in their adulthood. All the rules, exceptions, figures of speech, slang, etc. make it genuinely confusing to non-native speakers

TTUAgain, these are experiential adjectives
Saying smoke smells acrid tells me nothing about the way smoke smells. What about gasoline? People love/hate the smell of it. To one person it's pungent, to another it's sharp and to a third it's enticing and seductive and alluring. What does it smell like
Which one is it to you? (Gasoline)

Very seductive I'd love to excrete it when I run
Oct 3, 2023·1 replyTTUThose words are dedicated to smell
Everything else is a synonym (aromatic, foul), a very loose metaphor (decadent, unctuous), a loan from another sense (sweet, spicy), or a name of a source (rose, lemon)
On the flip side @plants Jahai people of Malaysia have a word to describe the scent of gasoline, bat droppings, shrimp paste, millipedes, rotten meat, etc. etc. They have words for smells like we have for colours
Majority of "tribal" (few Asian) languages are like this
Aromatic and foul are not synonyms

Oct 3, 2023It’s a difficult language because there are a lot of exceptions and rules that make no sense and aren’t consistent.
