What does "for your tea" mean?!
Answers: i've seen a couple questions in hear about what you are having for your tea. what does that mean. is it a british saying?
I take it you are not in Britain then, It is a saying for what we are eating at teatime, which is normally between 4-7pm.
Northerners say "tea" instead of "dinner"
An evening/late afternoon meal is sometimes called "tea" in the north of England.
it means what food are you having in the evening time
lol. It means what are you having for your dinner?
welsh people say tea instead of dinner
We have 4 meals in the UK. To make it more understandable, we have breakfast, lunch, tea and supper. Hope you can work it out from this.
no everyone stopped at a certain time to eat thier crumpet n tea.. i hurd
Tea is like dinner. I say breakfast dinner and tea. Others might say breakfast, lunch and dinner. Depends on what part of the UK you come from.
Tea is a meal, like to me (being a geordie) I have:
Breakfast
Dinner
Tea
Supper
Whereas in other places its usually:
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Tea/supper
Hope this helps!
tea is what some people (often from the North of England, or having relatives from the North of England) call the evening meal.
This is not to be confused with the meal often called 'High Tea' which is taken at or around 4o'clock and consists of a pot of tea with cakes and other baked goods.
It means evening meal. And it's not just 'northerners'.
Southerners too say tea instaed of dinner - in fact I personally think it is an English saying!
Tea time in the the UK is usually anywhere from 4pm to 6pm........when tea can be anything you eat for a meal, but usually consists of a cup of tea and a light meal or sandwich.
dinner.
some people have breakfast, luch and dinner.
others have breakfast, dinner and tea.
As others have said....for your tea...means what you are going to be eating early evening....approx 5-6pm. You possibly call it dinner, but we call lunchtime dinner, up here in the northwest of England!!!! Confusing eh??!!! Dont worry breakfast is breakfast....unless You call that something different?!!
Dinner is lunch & tea is dinner - took me about ten years to get my head round that one!
tea is what you have in the evening when you are not having a huge dinner.
as the person above me said, dinner is more like lunch time!
Not as late as supper though.

Yes, it means what are you having for your evening meal, some call it dinner, some tea.
