| 저기요, 계산서 부탁해요. (Jeo-gi-yo, gye-san-seo bu-tak-hae-yo.) |
| Did you notice how I replaced 주세요 (ju-se-yo) with 부탁해요 (bu-tak-hae-yo)? |
| 저기요, 계산서 부탁해요. (Jeo-gi-yo, gye-san-seo bu-tak-hae-yo.) |
| "Excuse me, I'd like the check." |
| First is 저기요 (jeo-gi-yo), "Excuse me." 저기요. |
| This is used to get the attention of someone the speaker doesn't know well, and in this case, to call for the waiter. |
| After this is 계산서(gye-san-seo), "check," as in the total bill at a restaurant. 계산서. 계산서. |
| Next is 부탁해요 (bu-tak-hae-yo), meaning "[I'd like to] request." 부탁해요.. 부탁해요. |
| 부탁해요 is from the verb 부탁하다 (bu-tak-ha-da), "to request," or "to ask someone to do something." 부탁하다 (bu-tak-ha-da). |
| All together, 저기요, 계산서 부탁해요, literally means "Excuse me, the check [I'd like to] request," and translates as, "Excuse, I'd like the check." 저기요, 계산서 부탁해요. |
| The pattern is |
| 저기요, {ITEM} 부탁해요. (Jeo-gi-yo, {ITEM} bu-tak-hae-yo.) |
| Excuse me, I'd like {ITEM}. |
| 저기요, {ITEM} 부탁해요. |
| You should be aware of this pattern, but for this lesson, we'll use the pattern |
| 저기요, {ITEM} 주세요. (Jeo-gi-yo, {ITEM} ju-se-yo.) |
| Excuse me, {ITEM} please. |
| 저기요, {ITEM} 주세요. |
