It's a french word/term, but it's acceptable in most European countries, even in the US.

just to know! : in french, it's "bon appetit" (say bonne apeti!) without e at the end ;)

I don't think there is a commonly accepted phrase for eating in English...we just say "bon appetite", too :)

Eating is not an event here. This is why Americans are fat and French people are not. Seriously.

bon appetie is used alot

Answer 14

a literal translation doesnt really work, but the expression would be "enjoy your meal" or just "enjoy!"

Answer 15

FRENCH            ENGLISH

Bon               Good

Appetite          Appetite

So the English equivalent would be "Enjoy your meal"

Answer 16

I don't think there is an expression equivalent to the french 'Bon Appetite'.

Enjoy your meal - is a translation - it is not said before meals.

The tendency is to complement the meal after it has been eaten - like - 'I really enjoyed that'! or 'Excellent meal!' or just burb!

Answer 17

enjoy your meal
