Ordering a coffee (Advanced): The size of coffee you want.

🇯🇵 [こんにちは] is fine in shops, but staff often start with [いらっしゃいませ] instead. As a customer, saying [こんにちは] is polite and natural if you want to get their attention before ordering.

💬 [をお願いします] is a very useful ordering pattern: item + [をお願いします]. You can swap in almost anything, like [ラテをお願いします] or [小さいサイズをお願いします].

💬 A very reusable way to order is item + [をお願いします]. You can swap the item: [コーヒーをお願いします], [アイスコーヒーをお願いします], [小さいサイズをお願いします].

💬 [いかがしますか] is a polite way to ask what someone wants or chooses. You'll hear it after many nouns, like [お飲み物はいかがしますか] or [サイズはいかがしますか].

💬 With a noun before it, [はいかがしますか] asks what you want for that thing: here, the size. The [は] is said (wa), not (ha).

💬 Japanese often puts the describing word before the thing, just like English: [小さいサイズ] = small size. You can swap in others too, like [大きいサイズ].
