意味
The act of having the evening meal.
文化的背景
Dinner is traditionally eaten from a communal plate called a Mesob. It is considered rude to eat alone if others are present. In the city, dinner times have shifted later (8 PM - 10 PM) due to work schedules, whereas in rural areas, it remains closer to sunset. During fasting seasons (like Lent), 'ራት መብላት' will strictly involve vegan food (no meat, dairy, or eggs). If you visit an Ethiopian home during dinner time, you will be forced (politely) to join. Saying 'I already ate' is often ignored.
The Gursha Rule
If someone offers you a Gursha while eating dinner, always accept it with your right hand. It's a sign of friendship.
Right Hand Only
Always use your right hand to eat dinner. Using the left hand is considered impolite in Ethiopian culture.

Timing is Key
Don't say 'ራት መብላት' at noon; people will think you are planning for the future, not talking about the current meal.

5 問Usually, no. 'ራት' implies a full meal. For a snack, you would use 'መክሰስ' (mekses).
Both are correct. 'እራት' (Erat) is the more formal/complete spelling, but 'ራት' (Rat) is much more common in daily speech.
Use the continuous form: 'ራት እየበላሁ ነው' (Rat iyebelahu new).
