Cuisine refers to a style or method of cooking, especially as related to a particular country, region, or culture. It includes the ingredients, techniques, and dishes that are characteristic of a specific culinary tradition. For example, Italian cuisine is known for pasta and pizza, while Japanese cuisine features sushi and sashimi.
Here’s a corrected and natural version of your sentence:
"What does 'cuisine' mean?" (Most natural and concise)
Alternatively, if you want to keep "the meaning of":
"What is the meaning of 'cuisine'?" (Also correct but slightly more formal)
Tips for improvement:
1. Shorter & clearer – Native speakers often prefer direct questions like "What does X mean?" instead of "What is the meaning of X?" (though both are correct).
2. Pronunciation note – "Cuisine" is pronounced /kwɪˈziːn/ (like "kwee-ZEEN").
3. Example usage – You could also ask: "What kind of cuisine do you like?" (meaning types of food/cooking styles).
Your original sentence was understandable, but these small tweaks make it sound more fluent. Keep practicing—your English is already good for asking questions clearly. 😊
