1. 1

    A habitué is someone who goes to the same place, or the same kind of event, so often that the place feels like theirs — the woman always at that jazz club, the man who never misses Thursday at the café. Staff may already know their order. It is a French word still wearing French clothes, so it sounds educated, a little old-fashioned, and a little stylish. You meet it in writing and in reviews more than in young people’s speech. Nobody is being if they have never heard it; the everyday English is regular or regular customer. It is about showing up, not about having a “habit” like biting your nails, though the family likeness is real.

    常客(較文的法語借詞;口語多說「常客」就夠)
