Giving your order to a waitress: (Audio 1.28)


  • Ask the waitress what is on the menu today.

  • В меню� на пе�рвое сего�дня борщ и грибно�й суп.

  • Explain that you are a vegetarian and do not eat meat. Ask if the
    mushroom soup has meat in it – a straightforward way to say this is
    to ask if it is ‘without meat’.

  • Да, без мя�са.

  • Then I’ll have the mushroom soup.

  • А на второ�е?

  • Ask if they have a dish (блю�до) without meat.

  • Да, есть омле�т, пи�цца, ры�ба. Но ры�ба не о�чень хоро�шая.

  • Then an omelette, please.

  • А на сла�дкое?

  • For the sweet course, ice cream.

  • Чай, ко�фе?

  • Order coffee without sugar.
