C'est pour
say ay poor
[say ay poor]
💬 Usage Tip: [C'est pour] is a useful pattern for giving booking details: [C'est pour quatre personnes], [C'est pour samedi], [C'est pour 20 heures]. It does not always mean "for" in the English sense of intended recipient; here it means the reservation details are for that time or number.
