Is that taste is transitive verb or intransitive verb?

"Taste" can be both a transitive and intransitive verb, depending on its usage.

Here's the breakdown:

Transitive:

* Meaning: To experience something with the sense of taste.

* Example: "I tasted the delicious chocolate cake." (The object of the verb is "the delicious chocolate cake")

Intransitive:

* Meaning: To have a certain flavor.

* Example: "This cake tastes like chocolate." (The verb doesn't have a direct object)

In short:

* Transitive: When "taste" is followed by an object (something being tasted).

* Intransitive: When "taste" stands alone and describes the flavor of something.
