Si usamos el reflexivo en Argentina y decimos \"Me desayuné\" queremos decir otra cosa. Queremos decir: \"Me di cuenta\". Ej.: \"Tardé 40 años en desayunarme de la vida\" = \"Tardé 40 años en darme cuenta de lo que significaba la vida\".

me desayuné


Explanation:
Leonardo y Roberto: por qué puede ser reflexivo? está mal? En México se pregunta por ejemplo a los chicos:¿ya se desayunaron? o ¿ya te desayunaste? y decir, yo ya me desayuné
me desayune = rompí el ayuno

agree  Leonardo Parachú: no está mal, como nada en los idiomas. Son simplementes usos, la gramática simplemente establece normas generales de uso, cada quien elige la que más le convence. Y sí, el reflexivo es correcto, pero en Argentina suena muy mal por ejemplo

Almorcé.


Explanation:
This means the mid-day meal in most of the Spanish speaking world so a lot of people might disagree, but in northern Mexico it means "I had breakfast". So if that's where you are going to use it, it is appropriate.
