Quando non usiamo mangiare - When we don’t use “mangiare”

In italiano non usiamo – mangiare la colazione - , oppure – mangiare il pranzo - , oppure – mangiare la
cena – infatti, sostituiamo mangiare con fare colazione, pranzare oppure cenare, rispettivamente se
ci riferiamo alla colazione, al pranzo oppure alla cena.

In italian we substitute mangiare with fare colazione (to have breakfast), pranzare (to have lunch) and
cenare (to have dinner) depending if we are referring to breakfast (colazione), lunch (pranzo) or dinner
(cena).

Ad esempio potresti dire

for example you could say

io pranzo con una mela – i have lunch with an apple

That it means that you‟re eating just an apple for lunch

Io ceno a casa – I have dinner at home

Io pranzo con i miei parenti – I have lunch with my relatives

Io pranzo in giardino – i have lunch in the garden

another example is

that it means that you are eating like an ox

oppure “Mangiare come un uccellino” –

That it means that you are eating like a little bird

In the second case you are eating too few

Alla fine, è meglio sentirsi dire che stai mangiando come un uccellino e non sentirsi dire che stai
mangiando come un bue
