<div class='writeup-body'>易（やす）い is an い-Adjective that is regularly seen attached to the ます stem of verbs (the form of a verb that can be used as a noun). When attached in this way, it carries the meaning of 'easy to (A)', where (A) is the verb that comes before やすい.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'> 私（わたし）は食（た）べやすいサイズにステーキを切（き）る。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>I will cut the steak into a size that's easy to eat.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>この漫画（まんが）にはフリガナがついているから読（よ）みやすいです。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>Since this manga has furigana included, it's easy to read.</div></li></ul>Sometimes, やすい has a translation that is a bit closer to 'prone to (A)', or 'likely to (A)' in English. This nuance is regularly seen when the verb is related to emotions.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>あの先輩（せんぱい）は怒（おこ）りやすいからめんどくさい。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>That senpai is prone to getting angry, so he's annoying.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>カスミちゃんは泣（な）きやすいから優（やさ）しくしてね。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>Kasumi is likely to cry, so please be nice to her.

At first glance, I think of a fish with little to no bones that you have to sift through before eating every bite or so. Probably not related to flavor, at least IMO.

I think it could go both ways, it’s subject to interpretation due to not having the context.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum to ask this, since I was directed here when I tried to submit a question regarding something in my reviews.
Why does the hint display “Past”?
