But, I'm starting to realize how 많이 드세요, similarly to 수고하세요, is very difficult to translate into English. It really depends on the context. For example, when I'm eating lunch (급식) at my school, it's very common for the other teachers to tell me 많이 드세요/먹어요!-- especially since I'm so skinny, and they really think I need to get some meat on my bones. Some, however, speak to me in English, and just like in this lesson, say "Help yourself!" to me. In this kind of setting, it's unnatural. "Help yourself!" is only used when you yourself are the host AND have provided a spread of food for the person to choose from. Therefore, you also can't use it if you give the person a finite amount of food to eat. Ah, all the wonderful, confusing differences between English and Korean! Fun lesson.
