【No. 1417】Yoru Gohan (夜ごはん - Dinner)

Yoru Gohan
"Breakfast" is referred to as asa gohan (朝ごはん - literally "morning meal") in Japanese.
"Lunch" is referred to as hiru gohan (昼ごはん - literally "noon meal") in Japanese.
"Dinner" is referred to as ban gohan (晩ごはん - literally "evening meal") or yū gohan (夕ごはん - literally "evening meal").
However, recently people who call "dinner" yoru gohan (夜ごはん - literally "night meal") have increased.
It is thought that this term comes from the fact that the antonym of asa (朝 - morning) is yoru (夜 - night).
Originally, yoru gohan is not correct Japanese, but it is becoming common.

夜ごはん
"Breakfast" のことを日本語で「朝ごはん」と言います。
"Lunch" のことを日本語で「昼ごはん」と言います。
"Dinner" のことを日本語で「晩ご飯」や「夕ご飯」と言います。
しかし、近年では "dinner" を「夜ごはん」と言う人も増えています。
これは「朝」の対義語が「夜」であることに由来するものと考えられます。
「夜ごはん」は本来正しい日本語ではありませんが、市民権を得つつあります。
