Exceptions

好 (hǎo) can also be attached to "sense verbs" (e.g. "look," "taste," "smell," etc.) to indicate that something is good to do (rather than "easy to do").

1. 好吃 hǎochī = good to taste, good to eat, delicious
2. 好喝 hǎohē = good to taste, good to drink
3. 好看 hǎokàn = good to look at, good-looking, attractive
4. 好听 hǎotīng = good to listen to, pleasant to listen to, good-sounding

The word for "fun" in Chinese (好玩 hǎowán) is also of this form, even though it's not a sense.
