Vah lajawab, Sumadhur, Suswadu, Atiswadisht


Explanation:
Vah, lajawab - "Vah" is an exclamation remark that is uttered in many contexts. It means highly commendable. "Lajawab" meas unequalled. This combination of words is often expressed to declare one's total approval of something, food, ideas, repartees, and so on.

Sumadhur - "Su" is a positive prefix and "madhur" means sweet. The two together indicate "extremely tasty", especially if the dish has a sweet flavour.

Suswadu - "Swad" means taste. So this means very delectable.

Atiswadisht - "Ati" means extreme, and "swadisht" means tasty, so this means extremely tasty.

The first one (vah lajawab) is a colloquial term, one that you are likely to hear in conversation, etc. There is a popular TV ad for a tea company in which a famous musician tastes the tea and declares "Vah lajawab".

The others are formal, literary terms, seen mostly in Hindi plays and novels and in the conversation of the highly educated.
