معنی
The act of consuming a meal
زمینه فرهنگی
Hospitality is paramount. You will often be asked 'Khana khada?' before your name. In the Langar hall, food is a blessing. The term 'Khana' is replaced by 'Prashad' or 'Langar'. The term 'Roti' is used more often than 'Khana' to represent the entire meal. Eating out ('Bahar khana') is a growing trend, but the phrase remains the same.
The 'Roti' Rule
If you want to sound more like a local, use 'Roti khani' instead of 'Khana khana' in casual settings.
Don't Drink Your Food
Never use 'khana' for tea, coffee, or water. It sounds very strange to native speakers.
