Lesson focus
|
Once you have the beverages and you finally have all the entrées you have ordered, you can start to enjoy the mouth-watering meal. |
Normally, if the waiter sees that you have finished, he will come to your table and kindly ask Czy podać coś jeszcze? ("Would you like anything else?") In the previous lesson, we already introduced podać, meaning "to serve." Coś jeszcze means "anything else." |
If you are pleased with your meal and you are ready to leave, you should reply Nie, dziękuję. |
Proszę rachunek. ("No, thank you.The check, please.") |
This is a long response; let's break it down. |
First, we have Nie, dziękuję, meaning "No, thank you." |
We follow this with proszę, which means "please." |
Finally, we have rachunek ("check"). |
All together, it is Nie, dziękuję. Proszę rachunek. |
And there you have it. |
