carne

meat

noun KAHR-neh Common

Also means

flesh

Usage Note

carne is feminine despite ending in -e: la carne roja. Beware the false friend with English 'carnation'; that flower is clavel. The idiom de carne y hueso (of flesh and bone) means a real, ordinary human being.

Examples

"Comemos carne los domingos."

Natural Translation

We eat meat on Sundays.
