How to Say ‘The total is 800 yen.’ in Japanese
お会計は八百円です。
o kaikei wa happyaku en desu
[oh kai-kay wah hahp-pyah-koo en dess]
💬 Usage Tip: [お会計] means “the bill/checkout.” The pattern [〜は〜です] = “As for ~, it is ~.” Also note sound change: [八百] is read [はっぴゃく] (not [はちひゃく])—it may sound like (hahp-pyaku).
🇯🇵 In Japan: At fast-food counters in Japan, the cashier often says your total first, then you pay. It’s common to reply with a simple [はい] or [お願いします] and then pay—no need for small talk.
