Tips to remember the word “agrio”:
– You can think of “agrio” as “a grito” which sounds like “a cry” in English, as if your taste buds might cry out because of the sharp, tart taste.
– Associate “agrio” with “angry” as sour tastes could make your face scrunch up as if you are angry.
– Link “agrio” with citrus fruits which are sour, and they often start with an “a” (e.g., “aguacate” or avocado is not sour, but it can help you remember due to the starting letter).
Explanations:
– “Agrio” is an adjective in Spanish that describes a taste sensation characterized by acidity that is not sweet. It’s used to describe flavors akin to that of a lemon or vinegar.
