disagree  MissAlena: Правильный вариант: давай (давайте) кушать

agree  Nikita Kobrin: Ув. MissAlena, в данном случае Ттагир прав. Предлагаемый Вами глагол будет правильным только как императив: "Кушайте на здоровье". Все остальные варианты употребления устарели.

agree  Oleg Prots: But 'davajte', not 'davakte'; must be a typo

agree  Yelena.

  -> Thank you.
neutral  Galina Nielsen: Опять же, Вы транслитерируете, а не транскрибируете, ведь безударные "Е" редуцируются в И-образные гласные?
12 hrs
  -> И как это лучше передать латиницей? Не могли бы Вы прислать Ваши соображения непосредственно на [email protected] Мне это интересно, к тому же я не смог декодировать и прочитать Ваш комментарий к ответу Ттагира. Заранее благодарю.
agree  Сергей Лузан

agree  Ludwig Chekhovtsov: Никита, по поводу Вашего предыдущего замечания:а что, и знаменитая реплика "Кушать подано" тоже устарела ?
2 days 2 hrs
  -> Думаю, да. Сейчас ее можно услышать лишь в кино в сценах из старинной жизни либо непременно с легким оттенком иронии. Не случайно эта реплика получила не менее знаменитое продолжение: "Кушать подано, садитесь жрать, пожалуйста" :-)

It depends on the context.


Explanation:
If you are not yet seated it may be "proshu k stolu", "sadites pozhalusta", if you are already seated, it depends on the social terms you are with the^people, with your friends you may say "naletai", "ugoshaites" will be much more formal
