Question about German
Hallo 👋
I am very confused about the real meaning of the word "lebensmittel" 'cause when I translate it into English I get "groceries" but I noticed that it's used more commnly and on a wider scale than in English, so what does it mean? and in which contexts can I use it?
I would be obliged if you can provide some examples, and please make your explanation in English.
Danke im voraus 🥰🥰

"Lebensmittel und Getränke", you can say that if you are talking about food in general and drinks.
If you mean e.g. at a party - like "Food and drinks will be served" - you would rather say "Essen und Getränke".
