油っぽいって英語でなんて言うの？

The last example here is a more scientific term which is rarely used about food in general conversation.

This means that the food has been cooked with a lot of oil. You can use either oily or greasy. Example sentences: The food is very oily. I don't think I will be able to eat it. The food was greasy.

Food that contains a lot of grease and oil is called greasy. Fast food is notoriously known as greasy. Even if the food is cooked in oil, we still normally refer to the food as greasy, not oily. For example: The food is so greasy, it left a grease stain on the box. The greasy food gave me an upset stomach.

"Greasy/ Oily" are adjectives that can describe food that has too much oil in it which can be seen, felt, or tasted.

The three sentences you see provided above are great ways to express that a particular food is greasy. In the third sentence you will see the term dripped in oil. This means that something has a lot of oil. This is a term we use a lot, especially when discussing food, and would make a great addition to your vocabulary.

In English, foods that contain a high level of oil are often referred to as oily. We also use the word greasy. Commonly, fast foods and pizza are among those that are most greasy and fatty. Also, butter is used a lot in American cuisine, so we would refer to it as buttery as butter is a fat. Example, "This bread is very buttery".

When something is very oily, then we use to terms "very oily" or "greasy". For example, you can say: -I like very oily food like fried chicken. It's bad for your health but it tastes great. -I don't like greasy food because it is unhealthy. It can make your skin break out.
