    GRAMMAR

    FRENCHPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES #14 - RESTAURANT: PART 3 3


    As mentioned, it is proper to let the host take the lead in all things related to your meal. On
    more informal occasions, others may take the lead and serve food and drinks as well if the
    host agrees. If you ever feel like taking the initiative, it is customary to serve everyone else
    before serving yourself. When it comes to serving seconds, present the item you wish to serve
    and ask Vous en voulez? (formal "you") or Tu en veux? (informal "you"), which means, "Would
    you like some?" Be sure to ask everyone and serve yourself last.

    CULTURAL INSIGHT

    Raising Your Glass in France

    When you offer a toast, there are a couple of customs that outsiders find a little superstitious,
    but I enjoy them. First, you don't toast when the beverages are non-alcoholic. I am not sure
    why. Second, each person must take the time to touch his or her glass with everyone else's.
    Generally, this means no two pairs of people are to toast at the same time (though most people
    cheat on this) and certainly, no two pairs of people are to cross arms trying touching their
    glasses across the table. Third, you are to look each person kindly in the eyes as you touch
    glasses. If you miss this detail, the French people will swiftly correct you. Once everyone has
    toasted, you may drink.

    Other French expressions for a toast are à votre santé ("to your health") and à vous ("to you"). If
    you are only toasting one other person in an informal situation, you can use à ta santé and à
    toi.
