主菜

zhǔ cài

When you're at a restaurant, the most important part of your meal is usually the main course. In Chinese, we call this 主菜 (zhǔ cài). It literally means 'main dish' or 'principal dish'.

Think of it as the star of your meal!

For example, if you order soup, that's usually an appetizer. But the big plate of noodles or the stir-fried vegetables with rice? Those are likely the 主菜 (zhǔ cài).

It's a very common word to use when you're talking about food and ordering in restaurants.

When you're at a restaurant, the 主菜 (zhǔ cài) is the star of the meal! It literally means 'main dish' or 'main course'. Think of it as the central item you order, like a steak, fish, or a big plate of noodles.

It's what you usually eat after appetizers (开胃菜 - kāiwèicài) and before dessert (甜点 - tiándiǎn).

When you're at a restaurant, 主菜 (zhǔ cài) is the star of the meal, the main course. It's the dish that everything else, like appetizers or side dishes, revolves around. You'll often hear it when people are ordering food or describing what they ate.

For example, if someone asks what you had for dinner, you might say, "我的主菜是鱼." (Wǒ de zhǔ cài shì yú.) – "My main course was fish." Or, a waiter might ask, "您想点什么主菜?" (Nín xiǎng diǎn shénme zhǔ cài?) – "What main course would you like to order?" It's a very practical word for talking about meals.

When you're at a Chinese restaurant, you'll often see the menu divided into different sections. One important section is for the 主菜 (zhǔ cài), which means 'main course.' These are typically the larger, more substantial dishes that form the centerpiece of your meal.

It's good to know that in Chinese dining, it's common to order several 主菜 to share among everyone at the table, rather than each person ordering their own individual one. This allows everyone to try a variety of flavors and textures.

When you're at a restaurant, you'll often see "主菜" (zhǔ cài) on the menu. This simply means the main course, the star of the meal.

It's the primary dish you order, distinguishing it from appetizers or side dishes. For example, if you're ordering a full meal, you'd choose your "主菜" first.

It's a very common and practical word to know when dining out in a Chinese-speaking environment.

When you're at a restaurant, 主菜 (zhǔ cài) refers to the main dish or the most important part of your meal. It's the central item around which the rest of the meal, like appetizers or desserts, is structured. Think of it as the star of the show on your plate.

§ Understanding 主菜 (zhǔ cài)

Alright, let's get straight to it. You want to talk about the 'main course' in Chinese? The word you need is 主菜 (zhǔ cài). It's a noun, pretty straightforward. Think of it as the star of the meal.

DEFINITION
Main course.

No fancy tricks here. 主 (zhǔ) means 'main' or 'primary', and 菜 (cài) means 'dish' or 'vegetable'. Put them together, and you get 'main dish'. Simple, right?

§ How to Use 主菜 in Sentences

Now, let's see how this works in real sentences. You'll usually find 主菜 acting as a direct object or a subject. No weird prepositions you need to memorize specifically for this word. It behaves like most other nouns.

今天的主菜是什么? (Jīntiān de zhǔ cài shì shénme?)
What is today's main course?

Here, 主菜 is the subject. You're asking directly about it. See how 'de' (的) connects 'today' to 'main course'? Standard stuff.

我点了牛肉作为主菜。 (Wǒ diǎn le niúròu zuòwéi zhǔ cài.)
I ordered beef as the main course.

In this example, 主菜 is part of a phrase indicating purpose: 'as the main course'. '作为' (zuòwéi) means 'as' or 'to serve as'. It's a common structure.

这道菜可以做主菜。 (Zhè dào cài kěyǐ zuò zhǔ cài.)
This dish can be the main course.

Similar to the last one, '做' (zuò) here means 'to be' or 'to serve as'. You're stating its role in the meal.

§ Common Phrases and Contexts

You'll often hear 主菜 when talking about:

  • Ordering food in a restaurant.
  • Planning a meal.
  • Describing the structure of a multi-course meal.

我们先吃沙拉,然后上主菜。 (Wǒmen xiān chī shālā, ránhòu shàng zhǔ cài.)
We'll eat salad first, then the main course will be served.

Here, '上' (shàng) means 'to serve' or 'to bring up'. It's common to say '上菜' (shàng cài) for 'to serve dishes'. So, '上主菜' means 'to serve the main course'.

这个套餐包括一个开胃菜和一份主菜。 (Zhège tàocān bāokuò yīgè kāiwèicài hé yī fèn zhǔ cài.)
This set meal includes an appetizer and one main course.

When talking about set meals or menus, '主菜' is crucial. '一份' (yī fèn) is a common measure word for portions of food, like 'one serving' or 'one portion'.

§ What NOT to Confuse It With

So there you have it. 主菜 (zhǔ cài) is your go-to for 'main course'. Use it confidently in your Chinese conversations about food. Keep practicing, and you'll get it down in no time.

How Formal Is It?

So verwendest du es

When you're at a Chinese restaurant, you'll see 主菜 (zhǔ cài) on the menu to indicate the main dishes. It's the star of the meal, what you typically order after appetizers (开胃菜 - kāi wèi cài) and before desserts (甜点 - tián diǎn).

Example 1: 今天的主菜是烤鸭。 (Jīntiān de zhǔ cài shì kǎoyā.)
Translation hint: Today's main course is roast duck.

Example 2: 你想点什么主菜? (Nǐ xiǎng diǎn shénme zhǔ cài?)
Translation hint: What main course would you like to order?

Häufige Fehler

A common mistake is to confuse 主菜 (zhǔ cài) with 'main dish' in the sense of a 'signature dish' or 'specialty'. While a main course can be a specialty, 主菜 specifically refers to its position in the meal structure. If you want to talk about a restaurant's signature dish, you'd use 招牌菜 (zhāopái cài).

Incorrect usage example: 这家餐厅的主菜是他们的招牌菜。 (Zhè jiā cāntīng de zhǔ cài shì tāmen de zhāopái cài.)
Translation hint: This restaurant's main course is their signature dish.
This sentence is redundant and a bit awkward because 'main course' is not the same concept as 'signature dish'.

Correct usage example: 这家餐厅的招牌菜是烤鸭,也是很受欢迎的主菜。 (Zhè jiā cāntīng de zhāopái cài shì kǎoyā, yě shì hěn shòu huānyíng de zhǔ cài.)
Translation hint: This restaurant's signature dish is roast duck, which is also a very popular main course.

Wortherkunft

主 (zhǔ) meaning 'main' or 'lord' combined with 菜 (cài) meaning 'dish' or 'vegetable'.

Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: The primary dish of a meal.

Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic, Chinese.

Kultureller Kontext

In Chinese dining, the 'main course' often refers to a variety of shared dishes rather than individual plates. It's common for families and friends to enjoy multiple 'main dishes' together, served with rice or noodles. This communal style of eating emphasizes sharing and variety.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

10 Fragen

The Chinese word for 'main course' is 主菜 (zhǔ cài). It literally translates to 'master dish' or 'main dish'.

Yes, you can! While often heard in restaurant settings, 主菜 can also refer to the primary dish served at a home meal. For example, if you're having dumplings, you could say: 这个饺子是今晚的主菜。 (Zhè ge jiǎozi shì jīn wǎn de zhǔ cài.) This literally means: These dumplings are tonight's main course.

(cài) is a general term for any dish or vegetable. 主菜 specifically refers to the main dish, the centerpiece of the meal. So, while a main course is a dish, not all dishes are main courses.

主菜 is commonly used for both Western and Chinese meals. In a Chinese context, it would be the most substantial or significant dish. For example: 这道鱼是今天的主菜。 (Zhè dào yú shì jīn tiān de zhǔ cài.) This literally means: This fish dish is today's main course.

Yes, there are! For appetizers, you might hear 开胃菜 (kāi wèi cài), which means 'appetizer' or 'starter dish.' For dessert, it's 甜点 (tián diǎn), meaning 'sweet point' or 'dessert.'

You could say: 我想点一份主菜。 (Wǒ xiǎng diǎn yī fèn zhǔ cài.) This literally means: I want to order a main course. Or, if you know what you want, you can just name the dish directly and it will be understood as a main course if it's substantial.

It's quite a neutral word, neither overly formal nor informal. You'll hear it in everyday conversations and in restaurant settings.

Absolutely! In a multi-course meal or banquet, the most significant dish, often served after appetizers and before dessert, would be referred to as the 主菜.

A common mistake is using it too broadly for any dish. Remember, 主菜 specifically implies the main, most important, or substantial dish of a meal, not just any dish. Also, be mindful of pronunciation: zhǔ cài, with a third tone on 'zhǔ' and a fourth tone on 'cài'.

Try thinking about your favorite meals and identifying what the 主菜 would be. For example, if you love spaghetti, you could say: 意大利面是我的主菜。 (Yìdàlì miàn shì wǒ de zhǔ cài.) This literally means: Spaghetti is my main course. Practice saying it out loud!
