意味
Said to someone who is about to eat.
文化的背景
It is extremely common to say 'Buen provecho' to strangers in a restaurant as you walk past their table to leave. Not doing so can be seen as slightly cold. While 'Buen provecho' is understood, '¡Que aproveche!' is the more frequent choice in daily life. Some older generations consider it slightly informal, but it is widely used. During a 'asado' (BBQ), the 'asador' (cook) is often the one who receives the praise, and 'Buen provecho' is the signal that the meat is finally ready to be eaten.
The 'Igualmente' Rule
If someone says 'Buen provecho' to you, the most natural response is 'Gracias, igualmente' (Thanks, likewise).
Strangers are Friends
Don't be shy! Saying it to strangers in a small restaurant is a great way to feel like a local.
