"Αυτή διαβάζει μετά το μεσημεριανό."

[RaleighStarbuck]

Quick question: the word "γεύμα" can mean "lunch" too, right? (besides just "meal"). If so, is it commonly used that way as an alternative for "μεσημεριανό"? (the latter is much harder to memorize... haha).

[Theo_Matrakas]

Yes, it is correct and I will add it, but μεσημεριανό is more specific. γεύμα means generally meal, while μεσημεριανό (γεύμα) is the midday meal as it comes from the word μεσημέρι, which means midday

Why not "the lunch"?

[AlexFalconer]

'after lunch she reads' is the same as 'she reads after lunch'. In English word order is quite relaxed

Why does Greek put the definite article here? Is this because in Greek, people say "the lunch" and don't say "lunch"? Or is it because of a specific rule of grammar.?
