Hello and welcome to the English we speak.

I'm Jaying.

And hello, it's me, Neil.

Jayin, why are there olives everywhere?

Well, I bought a jar of olives and they taste it so amazing.

So I went back to the shop and I bought a lot of olives. They're so moorish.

More? What do you mean more? I can see there's more than normal here.

Jaying, this is ridiculous. There are olives all over my keyboard and seat.

I didn't say more. I said moorish.

We use this work to say that something tastes so good that you just want to eat more and more. I would offer to share them with you but they're so

moreish that I want to eat them all.

First of all, no thanks. I hate olives. Secondly, we need to tidy up. Thirdly, your example of moorish makes sense. So, are you going to help me clean up?

I would, but I'm too busy eating these olives. Have I mentioned them moreish?

Only about a thousand times.

Seriously, our boss is coming, so we need to start cleaning.

Okay, okay. I'll put the olives down and help you clean. We can do that while we listen to these examples.

That spicy sauce is so moorish. It makes everything taste better.

Have you tried that cake? It's really moorish.

I need to avoid those mourish sweets. I'm on a diet.

You're listening to the English we speak from BBC Learning English and we're talking about the word moreish.
