Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
この
kono
This
💬 [この] must be followed by a noun: [この伝票], [このスープ], [この注文]. If you want to say [this] by itself, use [これ].
See breakdown →読んでくれる?
yon de kureru
Will you read it for me?
💬 [〜てくれる?] asks someone to do something for you in a casual, friendly way: [見てくれる?], [持ってきてくれる?]. Here [読んでくれる?] is literally more like "will you read it for me?" than just "will you read it?".

kono denpyou o yon de kureru
Can you read this order slip?
💬 [〜てくれる?] asks someone to do something for you in a casual, friendly way: [確認してくれる?], [取ってくれる?]. In kitchen talk it sounds natural between coworkers, but less formal than [読んでくれますか?].

Order slip
はい。
hai
Yes.
ハンバーグ
hanbaagu
Hamburger steak
二つ
futa tsu
Two
💬 [二つ] is the general native way to count small things, often used when you're just calling out quantities. You'll hear the same pattern in [一つ], [三つ], [四つ].
See breakdown →です
desu
Is; are
ハンバーグ二つです。
hanbaagu futa tsu desu
Two hamburg steaks.
💬 In ticket-reading and call-outs, Japanese often leaves out words that English would keep, so [ハンバーグ二つです。] is a complete natural way to say "two hamburg steaks." The [です] here helps it sound like a clear confirmation, not just a bare label.
