• The word "" may be used for both "meal" and "lunch". That's why the greek word for "afternoon" is "" (= after lunch).
• When you want to order a two-word dish you usually put the adjective last. Thus, it's more common to say
  ()
  ()
  ()
  "" means "I want/wish (to have)".
• "" comes from the corresponding English word and (being a foraign word) is not conjugated.
