English term or phrase: Eat! Eat!
When I was growing up, my grandmother used to say "Manga. Manga" or "Mangia. Mangia" or "Mangi. Mangi" to tell everyone to Eat! Eat! when we sat down to meals. Unfortunately, I never learned the language. So, how do you say Eat! Eat! (meaning eat dinner) in Italian?
Sage
Mangia, mangia
Explanation:
It's the the form of the verb MANGIARE - imperative - 2nd person singular (tu).

Hope it Helps!
