Débarrasser la table

Clear the table

معنی

To remove dishes and cutlery from the table after a meal.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Clearing the table is often a communal effort in modern families, but guests should always offer to help as a sign of respect. In Quebec, the phrase is the same, but the atmosphere might be slightly more informal. You might hear 'On ramasse la table' more frequently in very casual settings. Belgian etiquette closely follows French rules. Clearing the table before everyone is finished is a major social error. In French-speaking Switzerland, precision is key. Clearing the table is done efficiently to move on to the next part of the social gathering.

💡

The Guest Rule

Always offer to help clear the table at least once. It's the 'politesse' gold standard in France.

⚠️

Wait for the end

Never start clearing while someone is still eating. It's considered very rude and pushy.

The 'Café' Transition

Clearing the table is the signal that 'le café' or 'le dessert' is coming. It resets the mood.
