Question:

Choose the best option for the meaning of the given foreign word/phrase:

BON APPETIT

Options:

Wishing someone an enjoyable meal.

Warning someone before meal.

Inviting someone for a meal.

Ordering for a meal.

Correct Answer:

Wishing someone an enjoyable meal.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - Wishing someone an enjoyable meal.

The best option for the meaning of the given foreign word/phrase "BON APPETIT" is:  Wishing someone an enjoyable meal.

Here's why the other options are not correct:
 Warning someone before meal -
Bon appétit doesn't imply any warning.

Inviting someone for a meal - While it can be used at the beginning of a meal where someone might be a guest,  "bon appétit" itself doesn't directly translate to an invitation.

Ordering for a meal - This is the action of placing an order, which isn't the meaning of "bon appétit".
