4 major tastes decription

In chinese we have 4 major tastes - 甜，酸，苦，辣 (sweet, sour, bitter and hot) to describes the taste of life..... In korean have this kinda saying as well?? Is that like - 단 ,신, 쓴, 매운 to describe above 4 tastes?? Thanks.



You're right.:)
but "verb stem + ㄴ" forms only work before nouns to modify the nouns, so just "단" doesn't make sense. It needs a noun.

e.g.
달다(= to be sweet) + 음식(food) = 단 음식(ㄴ form)
The candy is sweet = 사탕이 달다.(base form)

Description of 4 major flavours tastes description

In cChinese we have 4 major flavours tastes - 甜，酸，苦，辣 (sweet, sour, bitter and hot).  These words to describes the flavours taste of life..... In kKorean do you have this concept kinda saying as well?? Is that like -Do 단 ,신, 쓴, 매운 to describe the above 4 flavours tastes?? Thanks.

Taste is a subjective concept, e.g. this tastes good to me, what does it taste like.  If you want to talk about the property of an object you use the word flavour, e.g. a strawberry flavoured sweet, there are three flavours of chocolate on sale in the supermarket.

I believe that the Japanese also specify a fifth flavour, Umami?  Does this also exist in Chinese?

甜; 사탕은 달다.

酸; 레몬은 시다.

苦; 약은 쓰다.

辣; 한국 김치는 맵다.
