7 Russian translation of English words for meals

breakfast- breakfast;
brunch- decomp. late breakfast;
lunch- lunch (usually around noon, during the working day), lunch;
dinner- lunch (the main meal during the day, often in the evening);
supper- dinner

The equivalence of translating English to Russian words for meals is relative due to cultural differences:
Breakfast exists in two varieties: continental and English - with a stable and regular, meager, from the point of view of Russian traditions, menu. Russian breakfast- this is a completely unlimited variety of food, varying in different social and territorial groups, and just from family to family.
Lunch confuses the picture even more, because it is lunch, and dinner, or rather not lunch nor dinner, which does not coincide either gastronomically, in the set of dishes, or in time ( lunch at 12.00 - too early, dinner- at 20-21.00 too late for lunch).
Dinner is and dinner, and supper... Thus, the entire harmonious system of "translations" "crashed into everyday life," as Mayakovsky would say.

15 Games, songs, stories in English on the topic: Food (flash)

On the difference in the perception of food in English and Russian

Words with the same meaning often have different complementary meanings in different languages. Often this additional meaning is expressed in the "reckoning" of the same concept to different classes of phenomena due to the unequal function that these concepts perform in the life and everyday life of different peoples. So, for the Russian bran- feed for livestock, but for an Englishman bran- a dish that is usually served for breakfast. Russian fought- a dish of folk cuisine and is associated with peasant life, while identical to it is English custard- a widespread type of dessert, as common as our compote, or jelly(there is no equivalent for this latter in English cuisine and, accordingly, in English). For us sour cream- an everyday food product and an almost obligatory addition to many types of soups, for an Englishman the same sour cream- this is sour cream, that is, in fact, a spoiled product, etc.

Based on the book by L.S. Barkhudarov. "Language and Translation: Questions of General and Particular Theory of Translation".

The concepts of tasty - not tasty in English

In modern English, the concept of a negative assessment of food (Russian tasteless) is almost completely incomplete and poorly represented lexically.
The main way to express this concept is to combine not good[bad], and the use of this particular form, and not a sharper in emotional-evaluative connotations, a mono-lexical expression of the same concept bad[bad] is apparently no coincidence. In modern English society, as a rule, it is not customary to speak negatively about food, this does not correspond to cultural and ethical requirements, therefore this concept has remained lexically undeveloped, undefined.
The concept of a positive assessment of food - "tasty" - is represented in the language of modern English and American literature much more vividly, it is more detailed, lexically more varied. Along with the word good[good], phrases with words are used to express the concept of "tasty" delicious[tasty], nice[cute], excellent[great], perfect[perfect], fine[beautiful], splendid[excellent], appetizing[appetizing], beautiful[fabulous], savory[spicy].
Interesting observations were made in the study of the social background of the statement, as well as the context of the situation. It turned out that the expression of evaluating food is characteristic mainly for wealthy people, for representatives of the middle and upper strata of society, inclined in this matter to "overestimate" ( overstatement). Poor people, representatives of the lower strata of society, are much less likely to express their attitude to food and are inclined to "underestimate" it ( understatement). Both of these phenomena are easily explainable: for representatives of the more prosperous strata of society, food intake is not just a natural function necessary to maintain life, but also a certain socio-cultural ritual, an important phenomenon of social life, for which the quality of food is essential (just recall the famous "saddle lamb "at ceremonial meetings of the Forsyte family).
Evaluation of food (or food intake) among the wealthy strata of society is distinguished by lexical diversity and richness of shades. When describing the food of the poor, other criteria and lexical means are used, which are limited in most cases to words good[good], tasty[tasty], nourishing[nutritious].
In the food of the poor, the main advantage is its nutritional value, "solidity", "substance", that is, just what is conveyed by words nourishing[nutritious] and tasty[tasty]. It is difficult to imagine evaluating the food of the poor with words such as exquisite[exquisite], delectable[delicious] even delicious[very tasty].
The ways of expressing a positive or negative assessment of food can also be due to factors such as age, gender, and the level of education of the speaker. The tendency to overestimate is characteristic of young people.

From the book by S. G. Ter-Minasova "Language and Intercultural Communication".

About English breakfast today

Market analysts in the UK have announced the sad news - the popularity of the famous English breakfast has reached its lowest level ever.
A full English breakfast is also called a roast, as fried eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes are the key ingredients of this dish. High quality crispy toasted bacon is considered by many to be the highlight of the breakfast program.
Rhythm modern life prevents the British from enjoying all the delights of the morning culinary workout. There is not enough time to cook the roast, and more and more more people they prefer English breakfast - continental.
However, even for a croissant with jam and a cup of coffee, there is not always time left. Often, early in the morning, you can see people running to the metro station and swallowing a sandwich along the way. Some courageously get to the workplace on an empty stomach and eat their "ready-made breakfast" already there. This type of breakfast mainly consists of oatmeal or cornflakes chocolate bars and fruit.
According to experts, it is such a breakfast in a working chair that is ready to dance on the coffin lid of a traditional English fry.

Foreign enemies

Europeans, in turn, look at the dying groans of the fry with surprise. For many foreigners, English breakfast is a stomach test. It seems to them too satisfying for the morning hour and too fatty for their liver. And there is no need to talk about vegetarians.
Meanwhile, since 1997, one in nine cafes specializing in traditional English breakfast has disappeared from the face of the earth without a trace.
The English breakfast also has twin brothers - the classic Irish version and the Scottish one. Each of them differs in some details, but they are all similar to each other, and their sad fate is similar.
Until the frying finally went down in history, we hasten to inform you of its recipe.
Ingredients (per serving): 1 egg ( egg), 1 sausage ( sausage), 2 strips of bacon ( rashers of bacon), 3 mushrooms ( champignons), 1 tomato ( tomato), 1 piece of bread ( slice of bread), if desired, beans in tomato ( beans in tomato sauce)

For many Englishmen, lunch is a quick meal. In big cities, there are many sandwich bars where office clerks can choose any kind of sandwich with meat, fish, chicken, ham, shrimp, eggs, cheese, vegetables and lettuce. English pubs also serve good food for lunch, hot and cold. Quite a few workers go to the famous Fish and Chips cafes and buy their favorite deep-fried cod or haddock and chips.

Many Englishmen drink five-hour tea. This is a traditional light meal after work. People enjoy their favorite tea with cookies, cakes, freshly baked sweet rolls, tortillas and other pastries.

The British have dinner in the evening at about 7 o'clock, when all family members are at home together. Typically, a typical dinner consists of meat and vegetables. This can be roast chicken or lamb with potatoes, or steamed vegetables and meat with gravy. For dessert, English wives prepare various puddings and serve them with ice cream or jam.

On Sundays, British families love to sit down and enjoy roast beef, lamb or chicken, served with Yorkshire pudding and spiced with English mustard, applesauce, cranberry sauce or mint sauce.

Hello everyone, friends! I have not seen each other for a long time, since the last two weeks I was lost in, which gave me a lot of emotions, impressions and new interesting acquaintances. When you live in the same space and constantly communicate, colliding with other people's opinions and points of view, you have a pure interaction with their habits and characters. Shake-up, renewal, purification of consciousness, access to a new experience. By alternately teaching people English and cooking, I suddenly unexpectedly discovered that the biggest and most portable topic in any language is the topic of food.

As the well-known Nikolai Yagodkin said, drawing a quick diagram on a flipchart on this topic, - food is what everyone constantly wants and remembers least of all. The most inconvenient thing is to play all kinds of " pans«, « corollas«, « to shred«, « to rub«, « shred". We add to this a huge variety. fruits and vegetables , which nature has generously rewarded us with. As a result, dates with pears are forgotten right away, and the hackneyed Apple is spinning in my head and, rather, thanks to Steve Jobs, and not the fruit.

This week I decided to start a series of posts and decided to start with cooking and on this topic. It is believed that cooking is an occupation, but in reality it is not entirely true. As it turned out, men are not averse to making delicious pancakes and standing at the stove, communicating in English. One thing I noticed - food really conveys the energy and character of a person, sometimes even a mental state. Food-rubber, as in McDuck, is generally contraindicated for long-term use, since it does not have either mental or physical-vitamin energy. Food cooked in a bad mood tends to annoy you after taking it. Therefore, in a bad mood, I do not even go to the stove. Still, food should be prepared with positive emotion and mindset. In general, I have already spoken about to life, but all words including junk food in you can find on the website languageguide.org by entering in the field English and choosing the theme you want.

Let's take a look at popular cooking words.

Have a great day and delicious food,

One can endlessly talk about delicious food and cuisine from around the world. We all love to have a snack somewhere in a cafe or cook something special at home. The topic of food and nutrition is always relevant - talking about food can unite even unfamiliar people and help keep the conversation going. Not all the same to talk about the weather :)

Today we'll talk about food vocabulary in English. About what food is called, what the British prefer, how to talk about food correctly and, of course, we will learn many new words about food in English with translation.

British and food. What do the British eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

The British are known for their traditions and respect for history. Everyone knows that the British are very polite in communication: they are unlikely to push in front of the bus, pushing everyone with their elbows to make it to board. Rather, they will sincerely apologize if they accidentally hit you on the street. The British as a nation honor and respect traditions, follow them with pleasure and instill love for them in the next generation. So it is with food - in the life of the British, it is far from the last place and many customs and everyday habits are associated with it.

What eating habit do you think of when we talk about England? Of course, about 5 o'clock tea!

From 4 to 6 pm in Britain comes "tea time". Usually the British drink black tea with milk and small sandwiches. The British can quite compete with the Chinese in the culture of tea drinking, because for them tea is not just a drink, but a whole ritual. In Great Britain they love tea very much and even joke good-naturedly on this topic themselves.

According to the British, tea must be strong, hot, and sweet like a woman’s kiss - Tea must be strong, hot and sweet, like a woman’s kiss.

Several idioms associated with tea:

Not somebody's cup of tea - Not somebody's cup of tea.

To take tea with somebody - Drink tea with someone (have a relationship with someone, do business)

Нusband "s tea - husband's tea (very weakly brewed tea)

For breakfast, the British prefer simple and hearty food: oatmeal, scrambled eggs and bacon, toast with jam and, of course, tea or coffee.

You can often find such a meal as brunch - it is formed by a combination of the words breakfast and lunch. This is such a snack between breakfast and lunch, or just "second breakfast".

The afternoon meal is called lunch. The most traditional meal for lunch is fish and chips. Fish and chips can be found everywhere in England, be it a gourmet restaurant or a street food truck. The British rarely eat pasta or rice. For sweets, they prefer warm apple pie ( Apple pie) or pudding (milk pudding).

Dinner (dinner) is much like lunch in composition, only lighter. After dinner, before bed, the British can have cocoa with light snacks. This meal before bed is called supper.

Expressions on the topic of food intake in English:

Have breakfast - have breakfast

Have lunch - have lunch

Have dinner - have dinner

Have supper - eat before bed

Have (a) coffee / tea - drink coffee / tea

Have a meal - to eat

Have a snack - have a snack

Have a drink - to drink
