意思
Said before eating a meal.
文化背景
It is considered rude to start eating before the host or the eldest person at the table says 'Приятен апетит'. It serves as a formal permission to begin. In villages, you might still hear 'Да ви е сладко' more often than 'Приятен апетит'. It reflects a more traditional, earthier connection to food. Saying 'Приятен апетит' to colleagues is a way to build rapport. Even if you don't know someone well, saying it as you pass the cafeteria is a sign of good upbringing. Bulgarians love sharing food photos. The most common comment on such photos is 'Приятен апетит!' often accompanied by heart or fork-and-knife emojis.
The Response
If someone says 'Приятен апетит' to you, the best response is a simple 'Благодаря' (Thank you) or 'Благодаря, и на Вас/теб' (Thank you, and to you).
Don't be shy
In Bulgaria, it's better to say it to a stranger eating in a park than to remain silent. It's seen as a sign of friendliness.

Always keep it masculine. Even if you are talking to a woman, it is the 'appetite' (masculine) that is pleasant, not the person.
