nmaka · unmaka
Pronunciation: /Nmaka/, /uNmaka/
Definition
Ka-Adjective
- Delicious, tasty, good, delectable
Etymology
Derives from the root form uma うま followed by the Kyushu adjectival ending -ka か. The initial vowel /u/ was nasalized to /N/, creating the form nmaka んまか. The forms un うん and n ん are interchangeable in most dialects, and seeing how the syllable n ん is not permissible at the beginning of a word in standard Japanese, the spelling unmaka うんまか also exists.
