#Shorts Afiyet olsun! (Bon appetit!)
Afiyet means health (archaic)
and
Afiyet olsun means “May it be health”
You can use this expression before starting the meal,
When you see people are eating
and also when you leave the table
If you want to increase the level of your politeness you can also say
“Afiyet bal şeker olsun”“May it be honey and sugar”
We mean may your meal be as enjoyable as desserts.
