To be given a present.
خلفية ثقافية
It is considered polite to open a gift immediately when you receive it in front of the giver, unless instructed otherwise. Gift-giving is very similar to France, but during the holidays, 'l'échange de cadeaux' (gift exchange) is a very popular social event. Receiving a gift often involves a more communal celebration, and the 'merci' is often accompanied by a blessing or a wish for the giver's prosperity.
The Cedilla Rule
Always use 'ç' in 'reçois' and 'reçu' to keep the 's' sound. Without it, it would sound like 're-kwa'.
Saying Thanks
Always follow 'recevoir un cadeau' with 'C'est très gentil de votre part' (That's very kind of you).
