Is “complimentary” vs “complementary”?
What is the difference between complementary and complementary? My colleagues were arguing about the correct spelling of “complimentary drink” at a nightclub event, and I proposed that it be with an “e”, but apparently a free promotional gift is, in fact, spelled with “i”… Egg on my face!
There is a question that is as simple as this. how can I answer it? A glass of wine, also in season can be a complement to a meal. Any restaurant has ever offered a complimentary complimentary glass of wine?
I’m crazy. Am I even in my prime? Has it always been unequivocally “complimentary,” when a help is provided free of charge as a sweetener to a deal? What about compliments? If the owner is not paying you a compliment by not charging you extra for breakfast, he’s just doing business, right?
Compl- ement = Compl- e -tes something/someone else
not something. Compl- e -ment= Compl- e -tes something. Compl- e-ment/‘‘At some/’’‘’’
Is it very simple.? Complimentary = free.
I want to give you a mnemonic device for me if it’s compl- mentedary, I get
it for free.
In French, it’s “complu00e9mentaire” as in “petit du00e9jeuner complu00e9mentaire” and therefore it’s complementary.
To me a free breakfast is a compliment (goes with) to the room charge…and not a compliment (a positive remark) on any level! I really require breakfast, unless it’s so expensive for a hotel, why? What is your compliment to INOIS and His Chef on his choices
for my complimentary breakfast?

I think the foundation of “complimentary drink” is the simple fact that it comes with the “compliments of the house”; the compliment presumably being that one is a valued customer and therefore deserves special treatment in the form of a free drink.
Are there any complimentary drinks in Vegas?
complimentary : free on the house
complement: for going with something. To
go with something. : to go with something. : for no additional charge.
