- In many Spanish-speaking cultures, el desayuno is not a single event. People often have a light snack upon waking and a second, larger desayuno later in the morning.
- Spanish has a specific verb desayunar which means 'to eat breakfast'. This allows speakers to say desayuno as both the noun for the meal and the action of eating it.
