Is he yelling "kusnav" or like "kusnov"?

What does it even mean ... couldn't find anything on the webs - am I heavily
mistyping it?

What does Viktor yell in Yuri On Ice?


The only similar-sounding word that I recall hearing in _Yuri!!! on Ice_ is
the _Russian_ word _vkusno_
([вкусно](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%B2%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE)),
which in the show is sometimes used by characters to mean "tasty". (For
instance, it appears in ep. 2 when Victor is introduced to
[katsudon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsudon), and when in ep. 9, Yuri
Katsuki tastes the katsudon [pirozhki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirozhki)
that Yuri Plisetsky's grandfather made.)

The IPA transcription of вкусно is [ˈfkusnə]: it is then not implausible that
a casual listener might miss the initial [f] sound or be confused when
transcribing the final [schwa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa), leading
to a transcription like _kusna_ or _kusno_. (When encountering unexpected two
consonant combinations, I have sometimes missed the first consonant entirely:
for instance, when I first heard the Hebrew song "Hatikvah", I heard
"tsofiyah" (צופיה) as "sofiyah," because it was easier for me to process what
I heard that way when I was not listening carefully.)

Viktor Nikiforov yells the word 'Vkusno' (вкусно), which is the Russian word
for 'delicious'. If you notice, he only yells it when eating Pork Cutlet Bowls
(not a euphemism) and Hot Pot!!
