After seeing people in mangas or animes saying "itadakimasu" before the meal i asked myself how do the people in other countries say it. In German we say "mahlzeit"(spelled: mal-cajt) or "guten appetit"(guten apetit) and in Poland we say "smacznego"(smatch-nego)

i used "-" to separate the syllable and this way i think it is easier to spell it.

"Buen provecho" in Spanish. When begining to eat / if you see people eating around. Nothing is said when you finish your meal though, except comments about the food or some random talk.

This week's favorites:

• Golden Kamui

Bom Apetite in portuguese ^-^

"Gaarrrrr" in mine..... especially if it looks good. My first language is English, BTW, and I don't think we have an equivalent to itadakimasu. We English speakers are ungrateful bastards.

'Cheers' for drinking, but that's universal.

"Take your microwave meal and sit the fu%@ down" in Americano LOL 🤣

yeah same here "Buen provecho"

** "It's so warm that, Before the snow has a chance to stick, He melts it for me." **

Closest English equivalent, if I had to venture a guess, is "Time to dig in!"

I am the God of Freedom. I am not revered, I have no shrines; and you have never before heard of me nor will you ever hear of me again.

'dobar tek' or 'prijatno' as we say in Hrvatska

If the sea were made of Whiskey and I was a duck
I'd swim to the bottom and never come up

here in Slovenia we say "Dober tek"
At the end of the meal we mostly compliment the food if it was good 🙂

"If death would be beautiful, even the gods would die..."

We say "Selamat Makan", but the shortened version "Makan" is more common here in Indonesia

"Ore wa Homo Janai!"

It's not really a custom here to do so but you can say "Bon appétit".
and at the end of the meal you can thank the one who prepared it. In my case it's my mom.

In arabic you say "bismillah" and at the end you say "alhamdullilah." I'm pretty sure only Muslims say it, though.

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Life goes on

In finland we doesnt really say anythin before we eat =P
