Tips

culture
口福 belongs to a small family of Chinese "luck" words built on (good fortune): 口福 (food luck), 眼福 (yǎnfú, treat for the eyes - seeing something rare), 耳福 (ěrfú, treat for the ears - hearing something good). Saying 你真有口福 is a warm host's compliment: "how lucky you are to be eating this." The fixed phrase 大饱口福 = "to feast to the fullest."
