"The man and the woman eat dinner."

Translation: Mannen och kvinnan äter middag.

It's so weird to have middag as dinner since Mittag-essen is lunch in German

[Tim_Vleminckx]

lol yep me too, in dutch 'middag' means 'noon' :-)

[LandShrimp]

i keep getting it wrong for exactly that reason -.-

[ificouldfly]

It doesn't mean anything in my language, but seems so close to mid day -> lunch, so I am getting it wrong too, lol.

Could it be that Swedes have a different system of meals of the day? For instance, 'lunch' in the UK and in Easter Europe are two different things. Eastern European lunch is more like dinner that you eat at 1 pm. So maybe Swedes have something similar to that?

[KakhiSanik]

I'm Eastern European from Georgia and exactly we call lunch to the meal which we eat when we have an hour long break from work from 1 pm to 2 pm. Now I'm wondering what's lunch in the UK?

[thisismypotato]

I was referring to what people eat for lunch. In the UK, as far as I know, it's something light, like a sandwich or a salad. Here in Lithuania, for instance, lunch is often the biggest meal of the day (people eat dishes with more calories).

Dinner does not automatically mean the meal in the evening, the most precise translation to German Abendessen to English would be supper. Dinner means the main meal of the day, which can also be lunch. I assume that is meant in swedish middag, although someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

See this thread if you're wondering why Swedish "middag" means "dinner".

[22decembre]

So swedes have done the "middag" move to the evening, but not the "frokost" move to noon.

In danish, frokost means lunch.

Id like to, but the link does not work for me

This tread?

I wrote "manen och kvinnan spiser middag"

[isuck4]

Can someone tell me what is the diffrence between "middag" and "middagen"?

[JulesUhuru]

Middag (dinner) and middag (en) (The dinner)

[martabassof]

I think middagen is the definite way to say "middag". So, generally speaking, dinner is an object here, so they are eating dinner. While if you want to define it, like for example, "the dinner", you would go for middagen. -en in Swedish is the suffix to define masculine names (e.g.: man - mannen).
It's just my best guess, it's my second day learning Swedish :)

[UmutefeDal]

Dinner, the dinner

[BenjaminSa786620]

They should allow damen as an ok term for woman it means lady/woman

[lizotyl]

'Middag' sounds like 'midnight' and before midnight you have dinner. This might help, or not. Try to find different ways to remember a word if you get confused.

[Falkbror]

Can someone help me with the difference between middag and kvällmat?

[andreluizisrael]

Doesn't "EAT dinner" sound akward? I am brazilian, I learned to say "to HAVE dinner".

[Natalia616768]

I wrote as it should be and appears as error

[Ule677120]

Middag is lunch, frukost is breakfast! There is no correct translation for dinner...

[RobinRom]

Why is it not En Middag?

[Muna683921]

Hehe same applies to me i always think it is mid day

[Julie72350]

Nope, the app just froze.
