"Sweet as" is a slang phrase originating from New Zealand, commonly used to express approval, agreement, or admiration. It can be an affirmation of something good or positive, a response to say that something is okay, or even used as an appreciation to compliment people or things. Essentially, it's the Kiwi equivalent of saying "cool," "great," or "no problem." It is important to note that "sweet as" does not typically require an analogy to complete the phrase. The comparison implicit in the word "as" is understood contextually rather than specifically defined.

Example

1. "That new bike of yours, it's sweet as! You must be loving it." 2. "Did you see the sunset last night? It was sweet as." 3. "I've been to that new coffee shop downtown, and their mocha is sweet as!" 4. "His new guitar solo is sweet as, you gotta listen to it." 5. "You should try the cupcakes from the bakery on Main Street, they're sweet as!"

Interesting fact

"Sweet as" is an idiom that originated from New Zealand. It is used widely across the country, becoming one of the distinctive features of the Kiwi slang, also known as New Zealand English. This phrase doesn't refer to anything sweet in taste, but rather it's used to signify that something is excellent, cool, or amazing. Interestingly, the phrase is often left incomplete, "Sweet as..." making you wonder "Sweet as what?" However, for the Kiwis, the comparison part is understood and doesn't need to be completed. It's their unique and quirky way of expressing satisfaction or approval towards something or someone!
