i think peckish is more like ... a few levels below hunger? you don't have an appetite yet but you're getting there. whereas 口尝 was always described to me as "mouth-greedy", craving taste and not substance.

then again, those relatives always told me it was 尝口, which is looking increasingly less likely as i google. my entire life's been a lie.

Shit, I was always under the impression that peckish was similar to 口尝 in that they both make me think of the times when I'm not really hungry but I go around opening all the cupboards and the fridge multiple times because the idea of food is appealing. That and the way I've seen it used in writing.

no, peckish definitely involves at least a little hunger. and isn't as much about wanting to taste, i think. honestly idk about 口尝 anymore but at least the way i used it, it was more of a "craving without actually being hungry for the sheer taste and texture of eating".

i think there's some overlapping in all the terms, thus confusion as it occupies different parts of the definition for some more strongly than for others, but overall they're not exact analogues.

i thought of peckish as in you're a little bit hungry-- if you were served some food, you'd ~peck~ at it a bit, instead of say, wolfing it down.

all these words about food and feeling like eating are great though...
