Ingliz tilini o’rganayotganlarning orasida food va meal so’zlari aynan qaysi vaqtda ishlatilishi va ularning o’rtasida qanday farq borligi haqida savollar bo’lib turadi. Ikki so’zning ma’nosi bir xil – “yemak, ovqat” dir.
Mazkur so’zlarning bir–biridan asosiy farqi bu food so’zini biz oziq–ovqat do’konlaridan sotib olayotgan yegulik deb hisoblasak, meal biz sotib olib undan tayyorlagan taomimizdir.
Must va Have to o’rtasida qanday farq bor?
Misollarni ko’rib chiqamiz:
Food is necessary for every living thing. – Barcha tirik jonivorlar uchun yemak zarurdi.
Doctors recommend at least five meals a day. – Shifokorlar bir kunda ko’pi bilan 5 mahal ovqatlanishni maslahat beradilar.
My favourite food is ice-cream, but my favourite meal is breakfast. – Sevimli yemagim bu muzqaymoqdir, lekin sevimli ovqatim bu nonushtadir.
Biroq, food va meal so’zlari ma’no jihatidan ayrim hollarda bir-biriga juda o’xshash bo’ladilar. Masalan:
They serve nice food (meals) there. – U yerda ajoyib ovqatlar bor (ajoyib taom).
We’ve ordered some food (a meal) from that restaurant. – Bu u restorandan ozgina ovqat buyurtma berdik.
This was the healthiest food (meal) I’ve ever had. – Bu men qachondir yegan eng sog’lom ovqat.
Yana shuni aytish lozimki, meal(s) sanaladigan otlarga kirsa, food sanalmaydigan otlarga kiradi.
