Mushy Meaning in English
word
释义
Describes something soft, wet, and easy to mash or squash. It can also mean overly emotional or sentimental, especially in a way that seems silly.
用法与细微差别
"Mushy" is informal. It’s used for foods (like bananas or potatoes) that are too soft, and feelings that are excessively sentimental (e.g., 'mushy love letters'). Do not confuse with 'soggy' (watery/wet), and use carefully when talking about people’s emotions as it can sound teasing.
