disagree  HalmoforBT: *dinner* is "vacsora", *reggeli* is "breakfast". Reggelezni is correctly written "reggelizni".

  -> istenem, én most reggelezem...
disagree  Katalin Horváth McClure: This answer means: Time for breakfast. Dinner refers to the evening meal in US English, and noontime meal in British English. Never breakfast.
