How to Say ‘I'd also need a receipt, please’ in German

Eine Quittung bräuchte ich bitte noch

EYE-nuh KWIT-toong BROYKH-teh ikh BIT-tuh nokh

[EYE-nuh KWIT-toong BROYKH-teh ikh BIT-tuh nokh]

💬 Usage Tip: Putting eine Quittung first stresses what you want, and the verb still sits second, so ich slides after it. The neutral order works too: Ich bräuchte noch eine Quittung.

🇩🇪 In Germany: Asking for a Quittung is completely normal, especially for business trips. Drivers are required to provide one.
