One of the tricky sentence structures you must learn when learning Spanish is to describe flavors using de in Spanish. This sentence structure is very different from the way we describe flavors in English (we typically just add an adjective), so it is important to learn this syntax structure in Spanish.
Flavors Using De in Spanish
One way that you can describe flavors in Spanish is to use the word “de”. These work well for ice cream, pizza, popsicles, soup, flavored waters, juice, and more.
For example,
helado de chocolate – chocolate ice cream
helado de fresa – strawberry ice cream
caldo de pollo – chicken soup
caldo de res – beef soup
As you can see, this structure is quite different in Spanish and can become a bit of an obstacle when learning Spanish. I have created a video along with a FREE exercise to help you practice this sentence structure.
