Food and eating are very important concepts in Chinese life. As a result, the Chinese have created many food-related terms in their language. Here are 6 phrases containing 吃 (chī/eat) that are very popular.
'慢慢吃' (man man chi or eat slowly). I feel uttering this term at the end of a meal, when you have finished eating earlier than others, lets your Chinese friends/relatives know that you are no longer a ordinary '外国人' (waiguoren or foreigner) who is to be taken lightly. It tells them you're ready for Chinese culture and you mean business! :)
By the way a very helpful article!
