It's spelled "lekker" and it means delicious.

Peace,

Lekker is one of the words in the Dutch language which has multiple meanings. Its does not quite have as many subtle meanings as gezellig but its close.

Ballou is right, it can mean tasty (not really delicious) or good in regards to food. But it can mean sexy, good looking (she is lekker), or a place, an event, something that happens to you (a kiss, massage, etc). When applied to a person, it generally means pretty or sexy or desirable (although this is a newer usage, and a bit coarse).

To be not lekker (Niet lekker zijn') indicates "are you stupid or crazy". It can also be sarcastic.

De lekkerest generally does refer to food only, and indicates 'the best'

Learned most of this from my Dutch teacher.

Also, the usage of this word can vary quite by region (its more sarcastic in the South) and its can be a bit different in Belgium.

Hope this helps, its one of the few Dutch words I can use correctly!

Yes, but don't say that to her boyfriend, or it could be considered over the line.

Edit: fuck that, if the boy friend is a dutch guy, you could kiss his girl and he would probably be too wimpy to react :P
