comi al almuerzo

Question

is one way of saying "ate lunch" "comer al almuerzo"?

Answer 1

It depends where you live. For me and all the people that I know "almuerzo" is brunch. Breakfast is desayuno, brunch is almuerzo, lunch is hora de la comida, snack is merienda, and dinner is cena. Sometimes people ask you Que comiste a la hora de la comida? What did you eat for lunch? I can tell them if I ate a "brunch" style food, like eggs, bacon, pancakes, like a heavy style breakfast, or burritos, tortillas with machacado/huevo, chorizo, etc. I can tell them that I actually didn't have regular lunch, that it was a brunch at lunch time. Usually if you have an almuerzo, probably you won't eat lunch. That's my experience.

Answer 2

In Colombia, almuerzo is definitely lunch. Almorzar is to eat lunch. I'm not disagreeing with you Sylyon, just clarifying. Where are you?

Answer 3

You can say...Comí el almuero a las dos. I ate lunch at two o'clock.

Or you can say...Almorcé a las dos. I had lunch (ate lunch) at 2:00.

Answer 4

You just say "almuerzo" that already means I have lunch. "Verb almorzar"

Past tense: just use the preterite or imperfect form of "almorzar"

Almuerzo is a noun. Almorzar is a verb. Then you can start using the pronouns: Yo almuerzo, tu almuerzas, etc. - 00e46f15, ABR 5, 2010

I mean Yo almuerzo, but since Yo is optional, I didn't put it. - Krama, ABR 6, 2010
