"Small dinner"

Translation: Mała kolacja

[JesseHandley]

Kolacja - dinner?
Lunch - obiad?

[Tilo_K]

• pl lunch = en lunch = meal at noon

• pl obiad = en dinner = main meal of the day

• pl kolacja = en supper = meal in the evening

The English term “dinner” can be used for lunch/supper depending on cultural context, because people have different habits in the world for when to eat their main meal.

The combination “small dinner” is a bit contradictory, because the main meal of the day should be bigger than the other meals. However “mała kolacja” is fine. It's just not an equivalent translation.

I think maybe Ellis meant: it's hard to know whether some things are masculine, feminine, or neuter when they are new words. For example, meals.
