Food and meal words: English sentence practice in Hindi
Meals, taste aur khaane ki pasand ko English mein batana seekhein. Hindi meanings ke saath ghar aur restaurant mein kaam aane waale phrases.
What you will practice
Aap ek meal ka naam, usmein kya chahiye aur apni khaane ki pasand English mein bata paayenge.
Khaane ka order dete waqt sirf dish ka naam kaafi nahi hota. Quantity, taste aur ingredients ke baare mein do-teen simple words aapki baat ko saaf karte hain.
Apni pasand batane ke liye chhote sentences se shuru karein. Kisi dish ke baare mein pata na ho to usmein kya hai, yeh poochhein.
Meal, food aur dish ko alag samjhein
'Food' khaane ki cheezon ke liye aam word hai. 'Meal' ek baar ka khaana hai, jaise lunch. 'Dish' ek taiyaar ki hui cheez hai, jaise dal ya vegetable curry.
Breakfast subah ka naashta, lunch dopahar ka khaana aur dinner aam taur par shaam ya raat ka main meal hota hai. Snack meals ke beech thoda khaana ho sakta hai.
Taste aur zaroorat saaf batayein
'Hot' khaane ke temperature ke liye ho sakta hai. Mirch zyada hone ki baat saaf karni ho to 'spicy' use karein. Kam mirch chahiye to 'not too spicy' keh sakte/sakti hain.
'Vegetarian' bolne se hamesha egg ya dairy ko lekar aapki zaroorat saaf nahi hoti. Jo ingredient nahi chahiye, uska naam lekar poochhein. 'Without sugar' ka matlab hai cheeni ke bina.
