Bedeutung
Making the evening meal.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Hideg vacsora' (cold dinner) is a staple. It often includes 'szalonna' (bacon), 'kolbász' (sausage), and fresh vegetables. Making dinner often means slicing these up rather than cooking. In the capital, dinner times are getting later, often around 8 PM, similar to Western European cities, due to long working hours. In villages, dinner is often the leftover from a large, hot lunch ('ebéd'), but it is still referred to as 'vacsorát készíteni' when reheating and serving. If you are a guest, the host will often 'készít' far more food than you can eat. It is polite to try everything.
The 'El-' Secret
Use 'Elkészítem a vacsorát' if you want to sound more like a native speaker when promising to get it done.
Don't forget the -T
Without the '-t' on 'vacsorát', the sentence is grammatically broken and sounds very 'foreign'.
