bon-vivant
의미: A person who enjoys a sociable and luxurious lifestyle, with particular appreciation for fine food, drink, and good company.
Bon vivant (sometimes written bon viveur in British English, though this is technically incorrect French) describes someone who lives well and takes pleasure in the social aspects of luxury — dining, entertaining, and cultural enjoyment. Unlike 'hedonist' or 'sybarite,' the term is almost entirely positive, suggesting sociability and joie de vivre rather than excess. It implies charm and conviviality alongside refined tastes.
