Significado
Eating the first meal of the day.
Contexto cultural
Breakfast is often a long affair on weekends, involving 'khash' in the winter (though khash is technically its own event, it starts in the morning). Modern Yerevantsis love 'outdoor breakfast' in the many cafes on Saryan Street or Tamanyan Street. In villages, breakfast is often very fresh, with milk straight from the cow and bread from the 'tonir' (clay oven). In the Diaspora, 'nakhachash' remains a key way to maintain Armenian identity through food like 'soujouk' and eggs.
Use 'Anel' for the action
Always remember that 'nakhachash' is the noun (breakfast) and 'anel' is the action (to do). Using them together is the most natural way to speak.
The Coffee Ritual
If you are invited to 'nakhachash anel,' expect to be offered coffee immediately after the food is cleared.

Don't say 'Breakfast Utel'
