You may not remember any of this stuff, but one this you have GOT to remember if you want to speak Japanese is ください (please)! It's very important!

ください
Kudasai
Please - This is an interesting one. ください is only used if you want someone to get you something, or do something for you. It's like requesting for an action. But you wouldn't use it in terms of "that pleases me".

何が欲しいですか。
Nan ga hoshii desu ka?
What would you like?

水を一杯ください。
Mizu wo ippai kudasai.
Please get me a glass of water.

はい、何が食べたいですか。
Hai, nan ga tabetai desu ka?
Yes, what would you like to eat?

寿司ください。
Sushi kudasai.
Sushi please.

Let's say you wanted to order more than sushi, all you would do is add と (and).

寿司とハンバーガーください。
Sushi to hamba-ga- kudasai.
Sushi and a hamburger please.

I'm only using restaurant examples, but you can use it anywhere! And that's all there is to it!

wow im hungryy xDD more kudasai xD

thanks thats really intresting.

I shold try this in the Japaness resturant near town.

When they say tennaide omeshiagari desu ka means? I often hear it a lot but i dont know its meaning?

@bluejayy

tenn nai is written 店内.
店ーみせ／てんーmise/uchi => store
内ーうち／ないーuchi/nai => interior, inside

おめしあがりくださいーお召し上がりください in other words it means, "Douzo", please help youself

in a restaurent 店内で お召し上がりですか means: "Are you going to be eating here?"
