One word for knives forks spoons - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

Hello,

Is there any global name for : fork, knif, spoon,

Many thanks
Piotr

I think you can also use «cutlery».

I feel weird calling plastic forks/knives/spoons «silverware» so I just say «something to eat with.»

A spork is a fork and a spoon in one.

I know…you can call them «eating utensils.»

Yes, cutlery will work, too.

Silverware would tend to imply the knife, fork, spoon are made of metal, if not silver. Cutlery does not imply any particular material & so is more general.

well, «utensils» can also be used like «writing utensils» (writing instruments = pens, pencils, etc). I think of a utensil as a tool.

I would say «cutlery»; I don’t find it formal. Perhaps that makes me formal. :eek:

In American English, utensils is a very common word, silverware is used less often. Cutlery refers to knives only.

Cutlery refers to knives only.

Does it? Do you have a source for that? It’s not that way in the WRF dictionary. Wikipedia gives it as an alternative, and the source — knives coming before forks. But I can’t find anywhere that says forks and spoons are NOT cutlery.

A cutler is a knife maker. To an older person, like my grandmother, cutlery refers strictly to knives — not table knives but steak knives, carving knives, chefs knives, etc.
I have an Webster Dictionary from 1919 that lists cutlery as knives only but the 1932 edition has knives, forks & spoons as the first definition & knives (only) as the second definition.
If you go to an American department store & ask to look at cutlery, most salespeople will show you sets of silverware — knives, forks spoons.

Just one question: wouldn’t the word utensils include other tools that resemble cutlery but are used for the purpose of cutting roast meat for instance before the dish is put on the table, or the large spoon which is going to be used to serve every guest? I wouldn’t have used it in the same way as cutlery. Does it really have the same meaning? Thanks for making this clear.

That’s why you clarify by saying «eating utensil» and not just «utensil.»

Thank you Musical Chairs! That had not struck me… But doesn’t it sound slightly more ‘technical’ in a way than cutlery which seems plainer?

According to Oxford the «utensils» you mention are also cutlery:

cutlery

noun knives, forks, and spoons used for eating or serving food.

Cutlery doesn’t have to made of metal. You can have plastic or disposable cutlery.

Maybe it does, but it’s not strange. At home, we always use «silverware.» If it has to be plastic, we just say «something to eat with» or «forks and knives.» You don’t HAVE to use just one word for it.

Thank you again, Musical Chairs, I know we can use different words, the thing is that when we translate, we need to be so utterly precise that we need to know even the slightest differences… Language is tricky but so interesting!

Informally, how about ‘eating irons’? Or is that just TOO cheesy?

PS Piotr, I expect you’ve noticed the e on the end of knife.

I have heard the word flatware used to refer to knives, forks, and spoons.

This thread is a total surprise to me.
Cutlery includes all the items that would appear in a cutlery set in my cutlery drawer. They could be made of anything.
I expected to find support for this in the OED.
I didn’t.
It seems to think that cutlery is limited to things that cut.
Well of course that makes sense when you think about it, but I’ve never thought about it before and I know that most people don’t think at that level. Cutlery = knives, forks and spoons.
Cutlery 1
Cutlery 2
Plastic cutlery

In American English, utensils is a very common word, silverware is used less often. Cutlery refers to knives only.

Pretty much said here. I’ve heard ‘flatware’ and ‘setting’

It seems to think that cutlery is limited to things that cut.

WAS Panj. It’s really time you replaced that 1932 edition…

Did you check the links I posted?

It’s not that way in the WRF dictionary. Wikipedia gives it as an alternative, and the source — knives coming before forks. But I can’t find anywhere that says forks and spoons are NOT cutlery.

Of course I didn’t look at your links

I am fairly sure that you and I understand cutlery the same way.

What surprises me is that the OED,

current version

, seems to disagree with us.
cutlery:
Articles made or sold by cutlers, as knives, scissors, etc.
cutler:
One who makes, deals in, or repairs knives and similar cutting utensils.

Yet we both know that if we went to the right kind of shop to see cutlery, there would be all kinds of forks, knives, spoons, etc, etc, to look at.

Flatware, I believe refers to utensils that are stamped from steel or stainless steel, as opposed to forged or cast silver or stainless steel.

In the greater New York area at least, it is not uncommon for people to refer to flatware as «silverware». This is technically incorrect, but widely used.

In the restaurant business, some waitresses refer to the knife, spoon, fork, and napkin as a setup.

Flatware is the opposite of holloware. It is cast in a single piece. Historically since knives, forks and spoons were cast thusly manufacturers refer to this product as flatware. That is how the utensils got their name which still survives in some localities. Not my locality where we call it silverware. When the Norwegians came to the Midwest and learned to eat with knife, fork and spoon the name silverware had a preciious ring to it considering that back in Norway they only had a spoon to use for eating. Silverware was adopted in favor of flatware.

Of course I didn’t look at your links

And yet the current online Concise OED includes knives, forks and spoons in its definition of cutlery, but, of course, you didn’t look at the link in my post either.
The nice people at Cambridge also include forks and spoons in their definition of cutlery. The word has come a long way since cultellus, eh.
.

I think is the same.

Cutlery /n/: Knives, forks, and spoons: We keep the cutler in the kitchen.

Flatware/n/ (syn) Silverware: Tools for eating, such as knives, spoons, and forks: The flatware in that restaurant is rather elegant, but the plates are platics!

Silverware: Table tools made from silver: Please put the plates and silverware on the table.

I don’t know but I think we can use whatever we want.

Regarding «the dishes»:

A dish, in my area of the USA is more often called «a plate«. It is a flat, usually round thing made from plastic, glass, or ceramic that you put non-liquid food on and eat from.

However, the dishes can either mean a collection of plates, (especially as compared to bowls, as in «put the dishes here and the bowls there»), but most often means all the things that are used for eating and drinking in the phrase, «do the dishes«. To do the dishes means to clean all the plates, bowls, cups, glasses, forks, knives, spoons, pots, and pans or rinse them and put them in the automatic dishwasher to be cleaned. I believe in British English this is often called «washing up».

For example, in the song about Cinderella from the Disney animated movie Cinderella, they sing about her doing, «the dishes and the mopping/they always keep her hopping». In that case, the dishes means all the tableware as I described in at the end of the previous paragraph.

«Silverware» and «cutlery» are commonly used in my area of the USA to mean forks, knives, and spoon that are used at the table for eating. «Flatware» means the same thing (in my experience) but is rarely used in a normal household. «Tableware» is most often used in stores, catalogs, and websites that sell kitchen and dining implements to indicate all the things that are used to eat at the table as opposed to things used in the kitchen to cook food. «Flatware» is also used in the same contexts to mean the forks, knives, and spoons used at the table for eating, as opposed to any forks, knives, or spoons used for cooking, which are usually larger (and sharper, in the case of knives).

I rarely hear «cutlery» used in homes, but sometimes in restaurant the sets of silverware wrapped up in napkins that are placed at the tables are called «cutlery» or «cutlery sets» by staff or customers.

To summarize my answers to your two questions:

“Silverware”
There is no word I use for all of those things that doesn’t also include things that don’t usually go on the table. But if you include the pots and pans and so on that are in the kitchen, then it’s “the dishes”. How do you get everything off the table to “do the dishes”? You “clear the table”. When getting ready for a meal, you “set the table”. What do you set the table with? “Silverware, plates (and/or bowls), and glasses”. There is no one word I know of that is used commonly to mean all the things that go on the table.
