Document Summary
To talk about types of cuisine: (country) ryoori. This can be used in various contexts when buying things, but restaurants are the most common. When ordering food at a restaurant, when can use the follow phrases: In this case, means to decide on something. onegaishimasu: What would you like to drink? (literally: as for drinks, what will you decide on?) One can also use counter expressions to indicate how many of a thing you"d like. You can"t use counters with shimasu because this merely expresses what type of thing you have decided on. On the other hand, onegaishimasu, and kudasai are direct requests, so counters can be used here. The counter expression always follows the object+ particle. Remember to use the appropriate counter expression, it is not always hitotsu futatsu etc. X counter expression y counter expression onegaishimasu/kudasai. Koocha futatsu biiru ni hon kudasai. Please bring two teas and two bottles of beer.
