Das Ei-- the egg
+en-- eggs. [And das changes to die.]
I think I spelled it right.
Das schmeckt gut-- it tastes good.
Generally when I muss around with sentences/phrases I mess something up. Dativ, accusitiv, conjugations, all of the above....
I'm surprised [happily surprised, that is] the translator recognized it. (-;
