What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

But yeah in the dutch part of Belgium we would say "eet smakelijk" or just "smakelijk" as well.
I in particular don't really say anything... I just sit down - eat - get up ^^

Agreed. Although sometimes we wait for my dad to say "Begin maar" or "Zullen we dan maar?" which means somethins like "Let's start" or "Shall we?" bigrazz

same country but we use afiyet olsun at different times!!! eek well there is no official use for that as far as i know...

ps: it is great to see another person from Turkey here, though now i feel weird by talking to you in English bigrazz

Yeah, I don't know if there's an official use for it either. "Ours" is probably jinxed anyway, since we don't live in Turkey. Language evolves in different ways depending on the community you're in.

In my house before any meal cooked by my father, I make a point of using the phrase "What the heck is in this, anyway?"


Lol.... I do that when it's my sister cooking...

Quote from reid1
In Italy Buon Appetito! and for drinking Cin Cin or Prosit



Hahahaha I forgot Prosit... I usually say Cin Cin, anyway.

We say "Jó étvágyat" in Hungary. ^_~

Végre még egy magyar!!!(=At last, another Hungarian!)

Yes, before starting the meal we say : "Jó étvágyat!" (The same structure as Boun apetito!)
The other people respond: "Köszönöm, viszont!" (Thanks, the same to you.)
And after the meal we say "Köszönöm szépen, finom volt!" (Thank you, it was delicious.) I think it is a phrase that you say to the person, who cooked the food. (In my family to my mom. biggrin )

In Croatia we say "Dobar tek!"


bah, you're to late...i already said it biggrin


Actually it's not. Itadakimasu is something you say to yourself. Dobar tek is said to others.

Actually, I don't know of a language that uses a thing like "Itadakimasu".

In Greek we say "Kali Mas Oreksi" where the 'i' are pronounced as the ea in sea and the e in 'Oreksi' as the e in end

In Cypriot an idiom of the greek language which is spoken in Cyprus where I am from when done and feeling full and satisfied we may also say "Ekama me tin ampeli"
Again all the 'i' are like ea in sea and all the 'e' are like e in end

In my dialect, we say "Mangan tayon!" Which means "Let's eat!".

Well, there isn't any set phrase in my first language (English), but most people I know pray before the meal, usually a set "God is great..." or "Come, Lord Jesus..." kind of thing.

I use several.
Or just say, yum, yum and dig in.
Or warn anyone that tries to snatch something from my plate that they'll get a fork in the hand.
And I don't have time to pray... want to eat.

When it's food, we say "Bom apetite!" in Portuguese. When it's drink it's mostly said "Saúde!".
Unh... I think there are some more... I really don't remember, sorry.

It's "itadakimasu" for me. I don't bring out my thai side often, but I think my dad mumbles something like "gin te"/ " gin tuh". But that's more like " [go ahead and] eat ".
