Definition
够味儿 is a colloquial adjective used to say something is very satisfying, flavorful, or excellent. For food, it means the taste is rich, strong, and just right. For a performance, skill, or style, it means it's impressive, authentic, and hits the mark — 'having that extra oomph.' The word has a strongly approving, enthusiastic tone and is common in everyday speech. Note that 味儿 (wèi ér) is a single r-colored syllable in fast speech (wèir), though the standard pinyin writes each character separately.
