I am trying to write the sentence 'she tastes the candy' what is the write word for 'taste'? I keep getting different answers. One is toma, one is lleve, and one is prueba

she tastes the candy = ella prueba el dulce (or el caramelo)

to taste = probar
to taste like = saber
e.g. this tastes like sugar = esto SABE a azúcar


toma = he/she/it takes, drinks
lleve = (that) he/she/it carries, takes

the literal translation of -tastes- is -saborea-, prueba is commonly used to say taste but it is not correct it means for instance-she tries the candy- also toma is used but in the sense of taking with you the candy. So correctly translated -she tastes the candy- you should say -ella saborea los dulces- saborea comes from the word sabor which means flavor which in Spanish is also to taste, a more formal translation would be -ella degusta los dulces- degusta comes from the word gusto which is the name of the sense of taste in spanish.

Ella prueba el dulce (caramelo, confite).
To taste = Probar. So "prueba" is from the verb probar.

Toma means she takes or she drinks. Lleva means she carries or she takes.

Edit: In my opinion, saborear means to enjoy, not to taste.

She tastes the candy = Ella prueba el dulce.

She = Ella
tastes = prueba
the = el
candy = dulce

If you say Ella toma el dulce, that means She takes the candy.
If you say Ella lleva el dulce or Ella trae el dulce, it means She brings the candy.

She tastes the candy:
Ella prueba los dulces.

For that sentence I would say "saborea los dulces" (more like savor) or "prueba los dulces" (if she is "trying" them for maybe the first time)
