DICTIONNAIRE ALLEMAND-ANGLAIS

Although Taste looks as if its meaning is clear, it is a false friend which has more to do with your sense of touch than your sense of taste. Taste is a key or button such as you might find on a computer keyboard or a musical instrument. Klicken Sie mit der rechten Maustaste darauf means Click with the right mouse button. Remember also that the verb tasten means to feel or grope for something.

The concept of taste in English whether in the sense of flavour, preference or ability to be discerning is translated by Geschmack. So the phrase My girlfriend has good taste can be translated as Meine Freundin hat einen guten Geschmack.
