How would I say, ‘Come here’ & ‘Get him a coffee’ in Italian?
Like, if I were a manager of a Restaurant and my friend came in and I wanted to tell a waiter to get him a drink…If that makes a difference, I know in some languages it would.
thanks, =]
(preferably not from a Online Translator, I could do that myself, i.e. an Italian speaking person)
Come here (informal): “Vieni qui!” (vee-eh-nee kwee)
Come here (formal): “Venga qui!” (ven-gah kwee)
Get him a coffee (informal): “Portagli un caffè!” (por-tah lyee oon kah-fay)
Get him a coffee (formal): “Gli porti un caffè!” (lyee por-tee oon kah-fay)
If you know the waiter and you’re pretty good friends with him, use the informal. If you aren’t too familiar with the waiter, or you’re not good friends with him, then use the formal.
When in doubt, use the formal – they can always laugh and tell you to not be so formal, but it’s awkward using the informal and having them tell you to be more polite. If you’re still not sure, you could always add a “per favore” (“please,” pair fah-vor-ay) at the end.
