Bedeutung
The meal eaten in the evening.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Dinner is often the largest meal of the day where the whole family gathers. It's common to sit on the floor on a 'Paat' (wooden seat) in traditional homes. In cities like Pune and Mumbai, 'Dinner Out' on weekends is a major social trend, often involving 'Misal' or 'Puran Poli' in specialized restaurants. During fasts (Upvas), 'रात्रीचे जेवण' is replaced by 'Falahar' (fruit-based meal), but the timing remains the same. If you visit a Marathi home in the evening, you will almost always be asked 'जेवून जा' (Eat and then go), referring to dinner.
The 'Done' Question
Instead of 'How was dinner?', Marathi speakers usually ask 'Jevan jhale ka?' (Is dinner done?). It's the standard greeting in the evening.
Gender Matters
Always remember 'Jevan' is neuter. Using 'Rātricā' (masculine) is a very common beginner mistake.

Polite Refusal
If someone offers dinner and you're full, say 'Majhe jhale aahe' (Mine is done) rather than just 'No'.
