How do you write "wild blueberries flavored"?



I am wondering if we need to add hyphens (-) and how many. So, for example, is it "wild-blueberries flavored" or "wild-blueberries-flavored" or something else. I am not sure what's the proper way to write this.

You should use the singular (blueberry) in general when you describe a flavor. I think the hyphens are optional and that any of the following would look ok:




wild-blueberry-flavored



wild blueberry-flavored



wild blueberry flavored




The fourth option, wild-blueberry flavored, doesn't look right to me, because if you want to connect the words, flavored should be one of the words you connect - flavored is the main adjective that you are describing with other adjectives.



In general hyphens are most useful when they make the meaning of a phrase less ambiguous. There are some good examples of when hyphens are necessary here - e.g. small-state senator vs. small state senator; violent-weather conference vs. violent weather conference. In your case the meaning of the phrase doesn't really change based on how you hyphenate it.

  • Ok, but wild flavored doesn't make sense so I don't think that any hyphens are required. So it seems obvious that wild qualifies blueberry and then "wild blueberry" qualifies flavor. // Although I don't know German, my impression is that often German handles this sort of idea better by making a compound word for the whole phrase.

Nouns like "blueberry" are usually singular when used in a compound as an adjective. For example:




Peach-colored



Rose-hued



Blueberry-flavored




And so on. "Wild blueberry" is just a specific variety of this compound. Hyphens are optional, but they do help connect the words to each other so that it's easier to understand what you mean
