"저녁"

Translation: dinner

[hazlebee]

This can mean evening or dinner

[PimWendall]

Same with 아침. Breakfast or morning.

[sarah.leib]

Usually by itself 저녁 will mean evening, if you say 저녁밥 it will often mean dinner (literally evening meal/rice)

[Ash-Fred]

I personally never say 저녁밥. 저녁 is enough.

[Tilsii]

So would you say something like 전녁을 먹어요?

[jermad14]

Yes, that's acceptable. Also saying 아침을 먹어요 is acceptable in place of 아침밥 or 아침식사.

A friend of mine once wanted to write a simple letter to her korean teacher. She wrote 저년 (which is a bad word) instead of 저녁 haha. The poor teacher was confused

[rabbitkim_478]

아침 has two meaning = morning or breakfast :)

[Angeyyy]

When they prononce 저 녁 , can we hear the ㄱ at the end?

[AllieC490376]

Barely! This has been a concern for me too but they deal with it in an episode/ a lesson of Talk To Me In Korean. They explain that the last consonant is a bit muted, so "cap" sounds like "ca" with an abrupt closing of the mouth....

저녁 + 식사 = dinner too
아침/점심 + 식사 = breakfast/lunch too

[saiydae]

저녁은 거지처럼 먹어라.
