KONGLE
Requests and Paying
Ask staff to pack up your food, bring the check, hand you a receipt, or point you to the bathroom.
Perfect for leftovers, or when you decide last-minute to take your food home instead of eating in.
Say this when you're done eating and ready to pay — staff will bring the bill or take you to the register.
영수증 is a plain noun, so it goes right back to the simple [noun] 주세요 pattern from the last lesson.
Why? ~해 주세요: turning a verb into a request
You already know [noun] 주세요 for asking for things. Many action words attach 해 주세요 the same way to mean 'please do this for me': 포장(packing) + 해 주세요 = 포장해 주세요 ('please pack it up'). 계산(totaling up) + 해 주세요 = 계산해 주세요 ('check, please'). Same 주세요 you already know, just built onto an action.
화장실이 어디예요? — a sneak peek at asking 'where'
You'll learn the full toolbox for asking locations in Unit 5, but this one phrase is too useful to wait for: [place]이/가 어디예요? means 'where is [place]?' 화장실이 어디예요? — 'Where's the bathroom?' — might be the most urgently needed sentence in this entire course.
