뜻
To eat the evening meal.
문화적 배경
Dinner is often the main social event of the day. It starts late (8-9 PM) and can last for hours with multiple courses. In many Brazilian cities, dinner is a full meal like lunch, but in some families, it's replaced by a heavy snack called 'lanche'. Dinner often features traditional dishes like Funge. It is a deeply communal meal. Dinner might include 'Cachupa', the national dish, especially on special occasions.
The 'o' is key
Always include the 'o' when using 'tomar'. Saying 'tomar jantar' sounds incomplete to native ears.
Don't say 'comer o jantar'
While understandable, it sounds very child-like or overly literal. Stick to 'tomar o jantar' or just 'jantar'.
