意思
To prepare the evening meal.
文化背景
Dinner is a late-night affair, often starting after 9:30 PM. 'Hacer la cena' is a ritual that marks the end of the long workday and the start of social time. The phrase 'hacer de cenar' is very common. Dinner (la cena) is often lighter than the midday 'comida'. Dinner is also late, and if you are 'haciendo la cena' on a Sunday, it's likely an 'asado' (barbecue). The term 'comida' can sometimes be used to mean 'dinner' depending on the region, but 'hacer la cena' remains universally understood.
The 'De' Variation
In Mexico, try saying 'hacer de cenar' to sound more like a local.
Silent H
Never pronounce the 'h' in 'hacer'. It's 'ah-ser', not 'ha-ser'.
