In English, there are two words that are used to refer to the evening meal: 'dinner' and 'supper'. The word 'dinner' seems to be the most common, but it is common to hear 'supper' in certain regions. For example, some people in the southern region of the U.S. use the word 'supper' more. Here are some example sentences for both words:
"My boyfriend and I went out to dinner last night."
"We are having spaghetti for dinner tonight."
"Leonardo da Vinci painted 'The Last Supper'." (not 'The Last Dinner')
"I usually eat supper around 6:30pm."
英語には「夕食」の言い方が二通りあります。'dinner' と 'supper' です。'dinner' が最も一般的だと思いますが、地域によって 'supper' も一般的です。
例えばアメリカの南部では、'supper' をより多く使う人もいます。
以下は、この二つの語を使った例文です。
"My boyfriend and I went out to dinner last night."(昨日の夜は彼氏と夕食を食べに行きました)
"We are having spaghetti for dinner tonight."(今夜の夕食はスパゲッティだよ)
"Dinner is ready!"(夕食の準備できたよ!)
"Leonardo da Vinci painted 'The Last Supper'."(レオナルド・ダ・ビンチは「最後の晩餐」を描きました)
※ 'The Last Dinner' とは言わない。
"I usually eat supper around 6:30pm."(私はたいてい6時半に夕食を食べます)
Evening meal is another word for the meal you eat at night.
When using dining, it's usually used when you are going out for dinner, example: I will be dining out tonight.
「夕食」は 'Evening meal' ともいいます。
'Dining' は普通、夕食を外で食べるときに使います。
例えば:
I will be dining out tonight.(今日の夜は外で食べます)
The words dinner and tea are almost the same thing in the UK. Often you may hear the older generation of English speaking saying to "Eat your tea." Tea is also a hot drink that a person can have and it is also another name for dinner. It is not used among the millennials as much; however in rural parts of Britain you can still find the phrase used.
"dinner" と "tea" はイギリスではほぼ同じものを指します。年配の人はよく "Eat your tea."(夕食を食べなさい)と言います。
"tea" は「お茶」とともに「夕食」も指します。若い人はそれほど使いませんが、イギリスの田舎ではまだ耳にすることがあります。
In American English, often the words, "dinner" and "supper" are used interchangeably. However, when the event is formal, this is when sometimes, "dinner" is used more often, such as a state dinner or a banquet. We can refer to something simple such as a hamburger and french fries as dinner, or we can refer to a fancy event where people wear formal clothing as "a dinner." It all depends on context. But the one thing in common is that these words are used for meals eaten at night.
The meal that you eat at night is usually called 'dinner' or 'supper' or 'the evening meal' - and occasionally 'tea' in the UK.
"We always have dinner at 7pm'
「夕食」は普通 'dinner' 'supper' または 'the evening meal' と呼ばれます。イギリスではたまに 'tea' と呼ばれることもあります。

The meal eaten at night is called either "dinner" or in parts of the US "supper".

Dinner is usually in the evening; some other words like "early dinner" dinner" are is a phrases often used to refer to the meal either happening earlier in the evening or maybe late in the afternoon than usually expected. "late dinner" is a phrase we often use if you are eating the meal later than usual.
