How to Say ‘This is Smith, who made a reservation for seven tonight.’ in Japanese
今夜七時に予約した Smith です。
konya shichi ji ni yoyaku shi ta Smith desu
[KOHN-yah shee-CHEE jee nee yoh-yah-koo shee tah dess]
💬 Usage Tip: In Japanese, the description goes before the noun it describes. Here the whole 今夜七時に予約した sits in front of your name, like saying "the made-a-reservation-for-seven-tonight Smith".
🇯🇵 In Japan: This is the standard way to identify yourself when calling a restaurant back. Leading with your reservation time and surname lets staff find your booking straight away.
