mialuthien It's Latvian, Yarb. And I've somehow managed to pick up some Russian – through osmosis, I guess, as I've never bothered to learn it properly (have always been more fascinated with English). Jul 25, 2008
yarb What is your native tongue, Mia? Jul 25, 2008
mialuthien It's a very useful word to know. It's a shame that there's no corresponding word for it in my native language. But we do have an unofficial word for a meal that we eat after nine or ten o'clock. Jul 25, 2008
bilby Okay, I kind of get it. One because people in Indonesia (neighbouring country) seem to eat all the time. And two because there's merenda in Italian for a snack which falls between meals ... for example what kids eat when they come home from school. Presumably merienda is the Spanish equivalent thereof.

mollusque An extra meal in the Philippines that falls between lunch and dinner. I haven't figured out yet if the extra meal between breakfast and lunch has its own name or is also a form of merienda. (Yes, we were actually served five meals one day, including a blowout.) Jul 25, 2008
