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.
