How not to look like a cannibal in Japan

Question: Did you have a nice dinner? Seems fairly innocuous, but there are two dangerously similar answers...


Option one:

Hai, oishi katta desu

はい,おいしかったです

Yes, it was delicious



Option two:

Hai, oishii kata desu

はい,おいしいかたです

Yes, it's a delicious person.
