Word for “lunch” not there, in spanish
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using the imperative of mirar/oír with specific meanings -irony, attention, supposition "
Asked 3 years ago
Hola Shirley
the phrase "hacer de comer" is idiomatic for "to prepare/make (for) lunch", without having to mention the noun "lunch" (comida, almuerzo). There is no equivalent idiom in English for this, so we had to use the most accurate prhase in English.
I hope this clarified it.
