I wonder, do English-speaking people consider that "noon dinner" as "lunch"? One day, I spoke to a English-speaking friend. What I want to say is that "we will have lunch soon". But I forgot the word "lunch" at that time, so I used "noon dinner". He made no reaction. Maybe he just couldn'd understand that word, but I'm not sure. So I want ask you guys, please tell me your feeling. Thanks!

In summary, Noon dinner is understood but it isn't correct. Sometimes if you have trouble remembering lunch use time instead. "Would you like to eat around 12 today?" This'll work as well, although a little long

Hi, yes we say lunch here.

Yes, sometimes incorrect English may be understood. If you said "noon dinner" to me, I'd think it strange but I would understand you meant lunch. In Britain and Ireland, sometimes "dinner" is used for saying "lunch" which can be confusing (even to them)!

In my country..INDIA..its clearly 'Lunch' for the noon meal.. I dont know why we dont use the word 'supper'.. But here too as used in USA.. 'Dinner' for the evening meal..and 'Breakfast' for the morning meal.
