Thanks for telling me. Usually my hiccup is that meaning is so palpable that it evaporates as soon as it’s needed. To me “thats/its good” would have no meaning at all because it could be used to say any of several different things or nothing. Especially if it was the answer to a question. It’s a non-answer without some way to ground what “good” means. I would simply pretend I understand.
I definitely relate to just pretending to understand. To your point, even if people tended to say the full phrase of “it looks like it will be good to eat,” that could be out of politeness or out of excitement or just as a default statement because they’re bored. So many possible meanings that could come out of that.
