用法筆記

Used only before a noun (attributive position). Cannot follow linking verbs such as 'is' or 'seems' — you cannot say 'This dish is culinary.'

常見錯誤

❌This soup is very culinary.
✅This is a culinary masterpiece.
💡'culinary' is an attributive adjective; it must come directly before a noun and cannot be used after a linking verb.
