Hello, I am trying to learn french and am thinking that it would help me to use it at work. I work at a cafe. Can you tell me some simple phrases that I could use? Things like, "he/she will have..", "nice to see you again", "could you do/move/pick this up for me?" ;) Anything helps, merci beaucoup!

  1. Pourriez-vous vous déplacer ceci pour moi ?

    This means Could you move this for me

    Il aura un café

    This means He will have a coffee

    Qu'aimeriez-vous ?

    That means What would you like?

    Peux-je prendre votre ordre s'il vous plaît ?

    This means Can I take your order please?

    Peux-je vous aider monsieur ?

    This means Can I help you sir?


  2. not "peux-je" but "puis-je" !! can I help you sir/miss? = "puis-je vous aider / monsieur / madame?"

    I know we say "je peux", but when it's a question it's impossible!

    "nice to see you again" = je suis contente de vous revoir

    "que désirez-vous"? = what would you like?

    "voici" = here it is

    goodbye and see you soon I hope = au revoir et à bientôt j'espère

    enjoy your meal = bon appét*t


  3. Quel plaisir de vous revoir-nice to see you again!

    A bientot-see you soon

    Est- ce que vous pouvez faire le café? Can you do the coffee?

    Que puis-je faire pour vous?-What can I do for you?

    Desirez vous d'autre chose?-Would you like anything else?

    Pourriez vous bouger la table/la chaise/la boite/ pour moi?-Can you move the table/chair/the box for me?


  4. Bonjour.. lol

  5. Haha, "bonjour" is a good beginning... although I guess you will have to use "bonsoir" a lot as well. All jokes aside, you certainly know that already, so let's give you some phrases.

    He will have a coffee - il prend(ra) un café.

    She will have a tea - elle prend(ra) un thé.

    (It is) nice to see you again - ça fait plaisir de vous revoir

    It will be nice to see you again (seeing forward to seeing you again) - au plaisir de vous revoir.

    Could you move this for me, please - pourriez-vous déplacer ceci (pour moi), s'il vous plaît? (you can leave out the 'pour moi', it's not commonly used in French)

    Could you pick this up for me, please - pourriez-vous soulever/prendre ceci, s'il vous plaît?

    You can sit here - vous pouvez prendre place ici.

    You can sit at this table - vous pouvez prendre place à cette table.

    What would you like - que désirez-vous?

    Can I take your order - puis-je prendre votre commande?

    Can I help you - puis-je vous aider (monsieur, madame, mademoiselle)?

    "Anything helps, merci beaucoup!" --> Avec plaisir!
