<h2>Ordering Food and Drinks</h2>
| Rad bi nekaj sladkega. || rad bee nay-kah-ee slad-keh-gah. || I would like something sweet.


<h3>Phrase 1: Can I have the menu, please?</h3>

    <td>Pro-seem, la-hko do-beem ye-dil-nee list?</td>
    <td>Can I have the menu, please?</td>
  </tr>
</table>


Make sure to use "Prosim" at the beginning of the sentence as it translates to "please" in English. You can also replace "jedilni list" with "pijačni list," which means drinks menu.
| Prosim za priporočilo. || pro-seem zah pree-poh-ree-chee-lo. || Please recommend something.


<h3>Phrase 2: What would you recommend?</h3>
|}


<table class="wikitable">
Now that you have some phrases for ordering food, let's move on to how to ask for the bill when you're ready to wrap up your meal.
