Не за что))

Elena, a CANTEEN is a military term for a place where enlisted men and women take their meals.

Clear, thanks, Uly!

👍🏼

кстати, в русском "столовая" может означать еще и dining room

That I knew, but I didn’t think it applied here.

Hi, Uly! I've just come across the word "canteen" in "Headway". A girl says: "I've been living off chips from the college canteen". So, it appears Brits do use it in everyday life.

IIRC, Indians/Hindu like this word

Headway is Oxford University Press, not Indians...

Опять же, я не возражал, а просто комментировал.
Хотя, так как в UK очень много выходцев из Индии, то было бы неудивительно, если бы влияние ощущалось больше, чем в US

Но на самом деле, слово canteen, похоже, встречается в реальной жизни: http://www.bath.ac.uk/campaigns/where-to-eat-on-campus/
Fountain Canteen
The Fountain Canteen food court serves global cuisines, street food, salads, smoothies, shakes, snacks, and hot and cold soft drinks. It is also home to the £1 value menu.

Кстати, интересное слово Eateries

Grumbler is absolutely correct. I imagine hearing canteen in a Bollywood movie. As to whether the BRITs use it, I don’t know, but in the United States it has a military connotation.

yes, eatery is a great word. It covers everything.
