neutral  Zeinab Asfour: الحلوى can be eaten at anytime, what distinguishes the term "dessert" is that it's given after a meal!

  -> contextual, zeinab; if you are in a restaurant and asked for 'الحلوى', then it would be Desserts. The leading 'الـ' contributes in distinguishing it from, say, Candy 'سكاكر' or Sweets 'حلويات'.
