Quick use

Use これ を ください (kore o kudasai) when you are ordering or asking for an item. It is short enough to use even if the place is busy or noisy.

Chunk or pattern

  • Base pattern: 〜 を / ください
  • Swap the item you want.
  • Good swaps: みず, フォーク, とりざら, これ.

Helper words and endings

  • : marks the thing you want, take, eat, write, or ask about.
  • ください: is a direct polite request, usually after the thing you want.

Practical note

Keep this line short. In everyday conversations, a short clear phrase usually works better than trying to explain too much.
