"Dziś nie ma kolacji."

Translation: There is no dinner today.

[AnCatDubh]

I thought it would be ‘breakfast’, as ‘colazione’ is Italian for ‘breakfast’...

[Emwue]

Well… Just remember Poles eat very late 'colazione' then (kolacja in Polish is the name for the very last meal of the day). ;-)

Just a curiosity:

In Portuguese (from Portugal), breakfast is called "pequeno almoço" (literally means "little lunch").

In Brazilian Portuguese, we call the breakfast of "Café da Manhã", which literally means "morning coffee").

In Brazil as well as in Portugal, the word "desjejum", very similar to the Spanish "desayuno" and the French "déjeuner", can also be used. But it's very rare...

[JanKLinde]

In French "déjeuner" means lunch, breakfast is called "petit déjeuner", so it's "little lunch" as well.

just so we are clear, kolacja is evening/night meal

A false friend. Beware them.

[FirankaMipinska]

Wait, "no" or "not"? Which is correct?

[Vengir]

I would use "no", but I think "not" might be also correct. The difference is that "no" negates the noun: "dinner", while "not" negates the verb: "is".

[FirankaMipinska]

Awww, Ok

[JanKLinde]

You can say "no dinner" or "not any dinner", but "there isn't dinner" is bad English.

[RobertEddy]

Not a good sentence to be hearing in any language -- wah!

[DankNohr]

" Today I'm not having dinner" Why isn't it accepted?

[DankNohr]

No, no , no, I got it. Yes I self-reply myself.
