How to Say ‘Oh, have some more!’ in Portuguese

Ai, coma mais!

eye KOH-mah mysh

[eye KOH-mah mysh]

💬 Usage Tip: coma is comer "to eat" in the polite form used for telling someone to do something. Same pattern: beba "drink", from beber.

🇵🇹 In Portugal: Typical of a Portuguese grandmother or host: pressing food on guests is a sign of affection. It's fine to accept a little or to refuse warmly.
