Extra Phrases

Saying Yes and No 
To recap, when talking to Konbini staff you’ll mostly say:
はい、お願いします – Hai, Onegai shimasu – Yes please
大丈夫です – Daijōbu desu – No, it’s OK

Ordering stuff

One useful phrase is これ一つお願いします Kore o hitotsu onegai shimasu – which means I’ll have one of that. When you aren’t sure of the name for something, you can point and say that. So usually at the register or レジ reji – there’ll be a glass case with hot food such as fried chicken, potato and other foods. Sometimes the kanji can be hard to read so just point and say これ一つお願いします Kore o hitotsu onegai shimasu

Bags

One thing you’ll definitely be talking about is plastic bags. Here are some useful phrases:

袋にお入れしますか

Fukuro oire shimasu ka.
Do you need a bag?

袋お分けしますか

Fukuro owake shimasu ka.
Shall I put these in separate bags?

このままでよろしいでしょうか

Kono mama de yoroshii deshō ka
Do you want it just like this. You don’t need a bag right?

袋は結構です

Fukuro wa kekkō desu
No, I don’t need a bag.

Asking if you want chopsticks and other cutlery

Another thing you will almost definitely be asked is if you want chopsticks, a spoon, a straw etc.

お箸はご利用ですか

Ohashi wa goriyō desu ka
Will you be using chopsticks

お箸をお付けしますか

Ohashi o otsuke shimasu ka
Do you want chopsticks? (Shall I add chopsticks?)

スプーンをお付けしますか

Supuun o otsuke shimasu ka
Do you want a spoon?

ストローをお付けしますか

Sutoroo o otsuke shimasu ka
Do you want a straw?

Point card

Another thing that might throw you off is point cards. Many konbini have customer loyalty point cards which allow you to build up points every time you make a purchase. So they’ll usually say:

ポイントカードはお持ちですか

Pointo kaado wa omochi desu ka
Do you have a point card?

Random Phrase of the Week

居留守 Irusu – To pretend to not be at home

or

居留守を使う Irusu o tsukau – To pretend to not be at home

You use this when someone rings on your doorbell and you pretend to not be in. You can also use it for the telephone when someone rings and you don’t answer.
