Meals are important and we have them every day. But do you know how to talk about breakfast, lunch and dinner in Chinese? 早饭 (zǎo fàn) - Breakfast 午饭 (wǔ fàn) - Lunch 晚饭 (wǎn fàn) - Dinner All three words have two characters, and the second one in each word is the same: 饭 (fàn) 饭 (fàn) refers to cooked rice or other cereals and also means meal. 早 (zǎo) means morning, early, in advance or long ago. Together with 饭 (fàn) it means “morning meal”, so breakfast. The meaning of 午 (wǔ) is noon or midday, so 午饭 (wǔ fàn) is the meal in the middle of the day, lunch. Last but not least, the character 晚 (wǎn) means evening, night, late or far on in time. So, together with 饭 (fàn), the meaning of 晚饭 (wǎn fàn) is the evening meal, dinner. Easy, right? Examples: 你吃过早饭了吗？(nǐ chī guò zǎo fàn le ma) – Did you have breakfast yet? 你早饭吃什么？(nǐ zǎo fàn chī shén me) – What did you eat for breakfast? 今天午饭我想吃面。(Jīntiān wǔfàn wǒ xiǎng chī miàn) – Today I want to eat noodles for lunch. 午饭后我想睡个午觉。(wǔ fàn hòu wǒ xiǎng shuì ge wǔ jiào) – After lunch I want to take a nap. 你晚饭想吃什么？(nǐ wǎn fàn xiǎng chī shén me) – What do you want to eat for dinner? # Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language   # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟   Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
