English: Do you need a bag? (another chain's wording) → onegaishimasu / daijoubu desu
Literal: register-bag [topic] honorably-needed is ?
Notes: Go-nyuuyou = "honorably needed" — different wrapper, same bag. Reji-bukuro is literally "register bag."

English: Are you fine without a bag? — the flipped question → onegaishimasu (want one) / daijoubu desu (no bag); never bare hai

English: Cash, or card? (the simplified retry you can earn) → genkin desu / kaado desu
Literal: cash is ? card is ?
Notes: What the question collapses to after one sumimasen — Lesson 6's own choice enumeration, offered back to you. Clerks downshift like this for anyone who opened with Nihongo wa chotto dake wakarimasu.

Recognition only — you'll hear this; you never need to say it.

Native: ご注文はお決まりですか。
English: Ready to order? → hai + point, or Osusume wa nan desu ka
Literal: (honorific) order [topic] honorably-decided is ?
Notes: The waiter arriving at your table is asking this — "ready to order?" Catch chuumon (order — the [Package Pickup booster](/boosters/booster-package-pickup/)'s word) inside the wrapping, or don't: someone standing at your table with a pad only ever means one thing, and Lesson 5's point-and-order answers it.

MinicoreJapanese: Kashikomarimashita.

Literal: humbly-understood
Notes: The service "certainly." You've heard it mid-dialog in the [Dietary](/boosters/booster-dietary/) and [net-café](/boosters/booster-manga-kissa/) packs; here it is alone, because it follows every order you'll ever place.
Recognition only — you'll hear this; you never need to say it.

MinicoreJapanese: Shou-shou omachi kudasaimase.
Native: 少々お待ちくださいませ。
English: One moment, please (with the irasshaimase tail) → hai, and wait
Literal: little-while honorable-wait please (formal)
Notes: Lesson 5's shou-shou omachi kudasai with a -mase tail — the same flourish that ends irasshaimase. Department stores love it.

Native: お会計はご一緒ですか。

Literal: soon closing of (honorific) time becomes
Notes: Three wrappers stacked: mamonaku (any moment), o-jikan (the Animal Cafés' "time" in dress), to narimasu. Heiten = closing — when the ceiling speakers say this over gentle music, the whole store starts drifting to the registers.
Recognition only — you'll hear this; you never need to say it.

MinicoreJapanese: Tadaima manseki to natte orimasu.
Native: ただいま満席となっております。
English: We're currently full (restaurant version) → wait, or on to the next place
Literal: right-now full-seats becoming (humble)
Notes: The [events pack](/boosters/booster-events/)'s manseki in the starchiest announcement wrapper — to natte orimasu. Tadaima = right now. Same family as the lodging world's manshitsu; the move is the same: next place.
Recognition only — you'll hear this; you never need to say it.

MinicoreJapanese: Go-shichaku saremasu ka.
Native: ご試着されますか。

Native: 八百円になります。
English: That'll be ¥800. → pay (the register shows the digits)
Literal: 800 yen becomes

MinicoreJapanese: O-kaikei wa sen-en de gozaimasu.
Native: お会計は千円でございます。

MinicoreJapanese: Nenrei kakunin no botan o onegaishimasu.
Native: 年齢確認のボタンをお願いします。
English: Please press the age-check button (buying alcohol) → tap the screen's big button
Literal: age confirmation of button [obj] please
Notes: Buy a beer at the konbini and the register asks you to confirm you're an adult — nenrei kakunin = age check, and botan is the [ticket machine](/boosters/booster-shokken/)'s button. Tap the big glowing はい on the screen; this one really is a hai.
Recognition only — you'll hear this; you never need to say it.
