Lesson focus
In the last lesson, we saw how to order at the restaurant, how to get the waiter's attention, and then how to order your meal and beverages.
Once you have the beverages and you finally have all the entrées you have ordered, you can start to enjoy the mouth-watering meal.
Normally, if the waiter sees that you have finished, he/she will come to your table and kindly ask, Wilt u nog iets anders? ("Would you like anything else?") Let's look at the sentence and break it down.
The first component wilt, is a form from the verb willen and, "want." Wilt.
Next, we have u, which means, "you."
The following component, nog, means, "yet."
Nog.
Iets anders means, "anything else."
Let's break it down by syllable: Iets an-ders.
Iets anders.
To recap, the whole phrase is: Wilt u nog iets anders?
If you are pleased with your meal and you are ready to leave, you should reply: Nee, bedankt. De rekening alstublieft. ("No, thank you. The check please.")
This is a long response; let's break it down.
First, we have Nee, bedankt, meaning, "No, thank you."
Nee, bedankt.
We follow this with de rekening, meaning, "the check."
Let's break it down by syllable: Re-ke-ning.
Rekening.
Finally, we have alstublieft, which we have introduced in an earlier lesson and means, "please."
All together it is: Nee, bedankt. De rekening alstublieft.
And there you have it!

Outro
Okay, to close out this lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for saying it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so good luck, that also means “good luck” in Dutch.
"Would you like anything else?" - Wilt u nog iets anders?
Wilt u nog iets anders?
Wilt u nog iets anders?
"No, thank you. The check, please." - Nee, bedankt. De rekening alstublieft.
Nee, bedankt. De rekening alstublieft.
Nee, bedankt. De rekening alstublieft.
All right, that's going to do it for today. Remember to stop by DutchPod101.com and pick up the accompanying PDF and additional info in the post. If you stop by, be sure to leave us a comment. Tot ziens!
