Anita says:
Hello, in the first example, can I use на ужин instead of к у́жину? What is the difference between the 2? Thanks
Learn Russian Words says:
Hi Anita,
Yes, you can. However there is a slight difference:
– “к ужину” means “to the time of the dinner”, the potato must be ready when the time of the dinner comes; most likely, the speaker implies that he will bring something else (for example, roasted chicken) and potato is just a part of the dinner.
– “на ужин” means “for the dinner”; in this case, it sounds like the potato is the only thing you are going to eat 🙂
