Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
In the last lesson, we saw how to order at the restaurant, how to get the waiter's attention, and then how to order your meal and beverages.
In this lesson, we'll cover how to get the bill in Afrikaans.
BODY
Once you have the beverages and you finally have all the entrées you have ordered, you can start to enjoy the mouth-watering meal.
Normally, if the waiter sees that you have finished, he or she will come to your table and kindly ask, Wil u nog iets anders he? It means “Would you like anything else?"
(slow) Wil u nog iets anders he?

Next we have the phrase Iets anders he which means, "anything else."

To recap, the whole phrase is Wil u nog iets anders he?
If you are pleased with your meal and you are ready to leave, you should reply
Nee, dankie. Die rekening asseblief. This means ”No, thank you. The check please."
(slow) Nee, dankie. Die rekening asseblief.
Nee, dankie. Die rekening asseblief.
This is a long response; let's break it down. First, we have Nee, dankie, meaning, "No, thank you."

Nee, dankie.
Next, we have die rekening, meaning, "the check."
(slow) die rekening
