Translations:Picnics/5/en
This ambiguity is frequently misunderstood. Some people treat a picnic as a casual, almost incidental meeting; others treat it as a considered invitation comparable to dinner. Both readings are reasonable, which is exactly why they can collide. Community discussion tends to suggest that naming the intended register — a brief afternoon, an all-day gathering, two people or twelve — resolves more friction than any other single factor.
