Spanish term or phrase: Todos a comer!
Gostaria de saber se em Portugal se pode usar a expressão "Todos a dormir!" ou "Todos a comer!" num sentido imperativo, de ordem, mas num contexto informal e não autoritário. Concretamente imaginemos um grupo de crianças numa sala de aula. À hora da refeição a professora diria "Todos a comer!", dando essa ordem mas num tom de boa disposição, convidando as crianças a comer. Tenho dúvidas se esse "imperativo amigável" se pode usar nesse contexto e com essa intenção. Obrigado a quem me puder ajudar.
