snacks and drinks at events

Snacks and drinks that are given or sold at a meeting, party, or other event.

תבנית שימוש: to serve refreshments [at an event]
טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes say *"a refreshment" to mean one drink or one snack. In normal English, people usually say "refreshments" in the plural, or use a more specific word like "a drink" or "a snack". Another mistake is to use "refreshment" instead of "meal"; refreshments are usually light snacks and drinks, not a full meal.

state of renewed energy or comfort

The good feeling you get when you are less tired or bored after you rest, eat or drink, or do something you enjoy.

תבנית שימוש: [someone] finds refreshment [in/from something]
טעות נפוצה:
Learners may confuse "refreshment" with the verb "refresh" or the adjective "refreshing" and say things like *"I am refreshment" instead of "I am refreshed". Another mistake is using it where a simpler word like "rest" or "break" is more natural in everyday speech, since "refreshment" sounds rather formal or literary in this sense.

הפכים
exhaustion (Describes the opposite state, where someone feels extremely tired and lacking in energy.) | boredom (Opposite in terms of mental interest; refreshment restores interest while boredom is lack of it.)
