Usage notes

• Unlike Dutch lekker, the German word does not commonly refer to things other than tastiness and physical attractiveness.
• The contracted comparative leckrer is per se rare, but more commonly seen in the inflected forms leckrere, leckrerer, and so on (in order to avoid the three reduced syllables and the reduplication in leckerere, leckererer).

Adverb

   In dieser Wirtschaft kann man lecker essen.

   In this pub, you can eat well.
