While translating a novel, I found a very good words that often confusing us. Hope this will help
A question from Pia in Poland:
Could
you please explain the difference between lunch, supper and dinner.
Does the expression relate to the time of the day that you eat the meal,
the type of food or the size of the meal?- 'lunch / supper /dinner'
Gareth Rees: Well
Pia, thank you for asking a question about my favourite topic, food
and meals during the day. The expressions you've chosen - lunch, supper
and dinner, belong to a larger set which includes words such as
breakfast, tea and brunch. I'll be talking about those later.
The
expressions do relate to the time of day that you eat the meal and the
type of food and the size of the meal. That's why it can get
confusing.
