Translating from German, what does "das Mittagessen" mean?

  1. Midnight snack

  2. Evening meal

  3. Lunch

  4. Breakfast

The correct answer is: Lunch

The term "das Mittagessen" in German translates to "lunch" in English. The word "Mittag" refers to midday or noon, which indicates the meal typically consumed around that time. Therefore, when discussing meals throughout the day, "Mittagessen" specifically denotes the meal associated with the middle of the day. Understanding the context of German meal terminology helps clarify that this word does not refer to snacks or meals designated for other times of the day, such as breakfast or dinner.
