Continuing to learn conversational words and phrases for my morning coffee. Here’s today’s video I used.
Key takeaways:
ホットかアイス、どちらになさいますか?
Would you like it hot or iced?
〜になさいますか? = respectful way to ask “What will you choose?” / “What will you have?”お会計、500円で御座います。
That’ll be 500 yen.
で御座います: be, is- いえ、持ち帰りでお願いします。
No, I’ll take it to go.
持ち帰り (もちかえり): takeout (i.e. food), take-out, takeaway, take-away - いらっしゃいませ、店内ご利用ですか?
Welcome, will you be dining in?
店内 (てんない): inside of a shop
