▯ listens to the taste of ▯.

‘Listens to the taste’‽ Is synaesthesia required to speak Toaq? For real, though, I'd consider rewording the definition.

not having synesthesia in 2019

I think the wording is fine as-is! In fact I find the synaesthetic metaphor quite pretty. What alternative would you propose?

uakci commented 4 years ago

‘Pays attention to the taste of’ sounds neutral and would fit with the other –sī compounds (‘pay attention to the smell’, etc.). I like the metaphor too, but I don't think it should stay in the dictionary and flabbergast its readers :)

[update: wording]

"savour" would also work
