What is the difference between 夕食 and 晩御飯 ?
Are they just two different ways for saying the same thing, or is there some other context or politeness implied? Thanks!

Question

Answer

同じ意味ですよ。identicial

Answer

That's right. You're welcome!

Answer

So they are basically interchangeable, except 晩御飯 is only really used when spoken. Interesting! Thank you Haruka.

Answer

These are the same thing. 晩御飯 is basically a spoken word, but 夕食 can be used both in writing and speech. So, the second sounds a bit more formal, but there isn't much difference.
