oh my god stop making this fucking thread.

>>21424080 (OP)
I lick my East Asians armpits and call it umami. She thinks it funny and doesn't mind. Then I dick her down.

>>21424080 (OP)
It's japanese for savory

The fact that these threads get spammed is proof that umami won.

This. I've never seen a single word mindbreak somebody so hard. It literally lives in OP's head 24/7.

I think you should get a 30 day ban for making this thread asking about it, is what I think.

>>21425144
if mods gave a shit about this board they would ban this thread and the endless "choose one of these to get rid of" garbage threads. but they don't care. every day I'm adding more threads to my filter, it didn't use to be this bad. might be time to give up on /ck/.

>>21425148
That's been every board on 4chan since it came back. It's mostly all spam threads by bots I think with the purpose of making the site unusable.

Umami is Japanese word for savory. Savory is the English word for umami.

>>21425591
wrong. they're not interchangeable.

>>21425181
well it's working.
you can't post frogs or say bad things about indians without catching a ban, but you're free to endlessly shit up the catalog with AI slop, data collection threads and spammed rage bait. what a joke.

>>21425621
Don't let the pigs get you down.
I used to joke that umami and savoury were the same thing, but then I learned about Maggi seasoning.
It's often compared to soy sauce, but soy sauce has an enjoyable distinct flavour of it's own.
Whereas this stuff is not enjoyable on it's own, it's only useful in combination with other flavours. It's a flavour enhancer. When you taste Maggi seasoning the only word that comes to mind is "umami"

>>21425614
Wrong in every last delusional as always, child. They are interchangeable. Enjoy prison.

>>21425646
its basically the "secret" sauce of every granny and mom in austria i just love that stuff

>>21425646
>the only word that comes to mind is "umami"
What if you don't know Japanese or aren't a weeb like the vast majority of the world? When some fuck ass Africans in a little Ugandan village pass around the Maggi for they fufu and yams you think they're saying, "Ohh ohh ahh ahh umamii umami umami ohh ohh ahh ohh ahh" ?

>>21425677
Well obviously if you don't know the word "umami" it won't enter your mind. What a facile comment. You stink

>>21425704
Expand on that, please. If you don't know the Japanese word umami, what word do you think would enter your mind instead when you tasted Maggi?

>>21425736
Not him but meaty, nutty, rich, luscious are all decent. None of them are exactly the same though which is why umami as a word got adopted and is now part of the language. English, even more than many other languages has a long history of adopting words. It's whole base is a mishmash of mostly French and German with a bunch of Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Gaelic, Italian and other influences. It's why we have at least two words for mostly the same thing, mansion and house both refer to family dwellings but mansion the fancier version is from the French. It's one of the thi gs that makes English hard to learn fully, but also what makes it great. Sure hearing umami for the first time might confuse someone unfamiliar, but that's why dictionaries exist to teach the proper meanings and uses of words. Precisely because English is a thriving, ever evolving language. A century ago telling someone to go shelter in a nearby dojo because a typhoon might be coming would be less common as well. That's what's great about English. We don't have to look to less accurate words like meaty, nutty, rich, luscious etc. Umami perfectly encompasses that sensation.

To further this one last time as to why savoury never has and never will be a good synonym for umami is that savoury is a very precise word with a fairly narrow definition while umami describes a much broader taste. Savoury specifically only refers to things which are seasoned with things like salt and spices and which isn't sweet. The people who try to insist savoury and umami are interchangeable continually confuse that because they give the word savoury a much wider meaning than it has.

There are of course many foods that are both savoury and umami. A piece of chicken roasted with salt, garlic and herbs is a perfect example. It has the umami nature of the meat and then it has the savoury nature of the seasonings. However by contrast, if that same piece of chicken was simply boiled with no salt or any other seasonings it is still umami, but it is not savoury. They try to distract, but by it's definition it is not and no one familiar with English would refer to it as savoury. This is one of the various proofs that those trying to insist the two words are interchangeable are fundamentally unfamiliar with English.

To further the point still, that same piece of chicken could be cooked up with a glaze of honey, butter and garlic. That chicken again would still be umami but it would also still not be savoury. Savoury very specifically only refers to foods seasoned in a way such that they are not sweet. The chicken could be referred to as luscious, decadent or scrumptious but would not be called savoury. Again, this is a repeated error that the ESL detractors frequently make. It's because they have a limited vocabulary that they try to label all manner of things as savoury where it simply doesn't belong.
