Asked on March 3, 2021 in Other.
The most common word choice is “hot” but the most common way is not always the best way. I have had the following conversation with many of the native English speakers.
Is it a Friend that is hot?
Do you mean warm or spicy?
Spicy is probably second-most common but is also used for foods heavily seasoned with many spices (except chili). I don’t like spicy. And more accurate words, like “pungent” and “piquant” are expected, but they are somewhat marked except in technical
discussions.
