Quick use

Use ふたり です (futari desu) right after staff ask how many people are with you. A short number line is the normal answer at the restaurant entrance.

Chunk or pattern

  • Base pattern: 〜 です
  • You can swap the number word: ひとり, ふたり, さんにん.

Helper words and endings

  • です: is a polite sentence ending. It keeps the line simple and safe.

Practical note

For restaurant entrances, simpler is better. Staff are usually listening for the number, not a full sentence.
