뜻
To eat the first meal of the day.
문화적 배경
Breakfast is usually sweet (croissants, tartines) and coffee is often served in a bowl for dipping. Breakfast is often called 'le déjeuner' and can be much heartier, including eggs, beans, and maple syrup. Breakfast might include spicy porridge, beans, or French-style baguettes with chocolate spread. Like Quebec, they often use 'déjeuner' for breakfast. Speculoos spread is a popular topping for bread.
The 'Le' Rule
Always use 'le' with 'petit déjeuner' when talking about the meal in general. It's a common mistake to leave it out!
Avoid 'Avoir'
Never say 'J'ai le petit déjeuner.' Use 'manger' or 'prendre' instead.

The Bowl Secret
If you see a French person drinking coffee from a bowl at breakfast, don't be surprised—it's for easier dipping of bread!

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Only in Quebec, Belgium, or Switzerland. In France, people will think you are talking about lunch.
'Manger' is more about the physical act of eating, while 'prendre' is more about the social event. Both are correct.
As a noun, it can be 'petit déjeuner' or 'petit-déjeuner'. Both are accepted, but the version without the hyphen is more common today.
Say 'Je ne mange pas de petit déjeuner.' Note that 'le' changes to 'de' in the negative.
Usually something sweet: bread with butter/jam, croissants, and coffee or hot chocolate.
It's neutral. For a more formal tone, use 'prendre le petit déjeuner'.
The most common slang/informal term is 'le petit-déj'.
Yes, it's a regular -er verb. Je mange, tu manges, il mange, nous mangeons, vous mangez, ils mangent.
Technically no, but you can say 'manger un petit déjeuner tardif' (a late breakfast) or use the verb 'bruncher'.
Because it's a 'small' meal compared to the main 'déjeuner' (lunch) and 'dîner' (dinner).
