Question

What is the difference between supper and dinner ...................... ????

Answer 1

Here is your answer.....


The word "dinner" is normally used by Indians to refer to the meal that is eaten in the evening. Native speakers of English, on the other hand, use the word to refer to the main meal of the day. Some people have their main meal in the afternoon, while others have it in the evening. So what we call "lunch" may be referred to as "dinner" by native speakers of English. The important thing to remember here is that "dinner" is considered by some to be the most important meal of the day. "Supper", on the other hand, is something that is had only in the evening. And unlike "dinner", it is usually a very light meal. One can have it early in the evening or just before going to bed. Americans tend to use the word "supper" quite often. It is usually a meal eaten at home with members of the family. When you invite someone to have a meal with you in the evening, you usually ask him/her to have "dinner" with you, not supper. The Prime Minister of India hosts dinners and not suppers.

Supper vs. Dinner. In parts of the US,supper and dinner are used interchangeably to refer to the eveningmeal, but elsewhere dinner is the midday meal, akin to lunch, andsupper, the evening meal. ... The worddinner comes from the Vulgar Latin word disjējūnāre meaning “to break one's fast.”
