o kaikei wa 800 en desu
[oh kai-keh wah hah-pyah-koo en dess]
💬 Usage Tip: [お会計] means "the bill" or "total." The pattern [AはBです] is a super useful sentence frame: "A is B." Here, it politely tells you the amount.
🇯🇵 In Japan: At the register, staff often state the total clearly and politely. You may also hear very formal customer-service Japanese, which can sound extra polished compared with everyday speech.
