How to Say ‘You’d like to confirm your reservation.’ in Japanese

ご予約の確認ですね。

go yoyaku no kakunin desu ne

[goh yoh-yah-koo noh kah-koo-neen dess neh]

💬 Usage Tip: This literally means “It is reservation confirmation, right.” In natural English, it becomes “You’d like to confirm your reservation.” [ですね] makes it sound polite, not blunt.

What Learners Are Saying

Teaching in Osaka and I wanted to connect with my students beyond the classroom. The everyday conversation scenarios made my Japanese feel natural, not textbook-y.

Moved to Tokyo and the polite vs. casual speech levels were killing me. This app breaks it all down with real scenarios. My coworkers noticed the difference in weeks.
