It was the first vegetable I had ever eaten so I tried it as is.

Egui!?
えぐいというか苦いというかなんというか
よくわかりません。
I’m not sure if it’s gruesome or bitter or what.
もう食べたくないと思いました。
I didn’t want to eat anymore.
そのまま食べたのがまずかったのか
調理したらおいしくいただけたのでしょうか？
It was bad to eat it as it was?
Did it taste good when cooked?
Egui may be an expression unique to the Japanese language.
I could not find a good translation using translation software.
I think it is because it is a type of word whose meaning changes depending on the context.
The meanings for food include the superlative of bitterness, a strong astringent taste, so bad it makes you want to vomit, delicious, wonderful, and so on.
In terms of people and things, it can mean: disgusting, too much, cool, sneaky, painful, etc.
In terms of actions, it can mean “pushing the envelope,” “hitting the target too hard,” “being too brutal,” “being too aggressive,” or “being too aggressive.
As you can see, the same word can mean both praise and blame.
In terms of behavior, we are talking about action, but the real meaning of the word is praise or condemnation.
Listening to words alone does not reveal the true meaning of the other person.
In order to know the meaning of words, we have to judge the words based on a combination of the other person’s facial expression, tone of voice, context (not only before and after the most recent words, but also the atmosphere of the entire conversation), and relationship with the person who said them.
Some Japanese can do this instantly, some need time, and some cannot do it at all.
Japanese is a difficult language.
I am Japanese, but I need to study Japanese more.
