🇨🇳 Chinese Restaurant Series Episode 9

Eat full... don't call "Bill." 😆

In China, if you want to check the bill, the Chinese always say,

🧾 (M)

Ma Tan

- Yeah, check the bill.

At first we understood that we had to call "Bill" like our home, but when we actually went to China, we knew that the most common word was

Just short.

👉.

Understand immediately

Or if wanting to be more polite

👉.

(Máfan m)

= Please bother Checkbill

💡 tidbits:

The word (m) means "buy."

The part (dán) means "bill / item."

Together, it means approximately "pay the bill."

📌 Many Chinese restaurants now use QR Code for customers to scan for themselves, but the word is still used very often, especially when they need employees to pay for it.

Save it. ✨

Next time, it's guaranteed!

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่ได้เดินทางไปจีน พบว่าการรู้จักใช้คำว่า 买单 (Mǎidān) เป็นสิ่งที่ช่วยให้การสั่งอาหารและจ่ายเงินสะดวกขึ้นมาก แม้ว่าปัจจุบันร้านอาหารหลายแห่งนิยมให้ลูกค้าชำระเงินผ่าน QR Code โดยใช้แอปพลิเคชันอย่าง WeChat Pay หรือ Alipay ก็ตาม แต่ในสถานการณ์ที่ต้องการให้พนักงานเดินมาช่วยคิดเงิน การพูดว่า 买单 หรือแบบสุภาพ 麻烦买单 จะช่วยให้การสื่อสารชัดเจนและรวดเร็ว นอกจากนี้ การทำความเข้าใจคำศัพท์จีนแต่ละส่วน เช่น 买 (mǎi) ที่หมายถึง 'ซื้อ' และ 单 (dān) ที่แปลว่า 'บิล' ช่วยเพิ่มความเข้าใจลึกซึ้งและง่ายต่อการจำคำ สำหรับผู้ที่สนใจเรียนภาษาจีนในชีวิตประจำวัน นี่ถือเป็นตัวอย่างที่ดีของการเรียนรู้ผ่านสถานการณ์จริง เมื่อคุณไปเที่ยวจีน ควรเตรียมตัวเรียนรู้คำศัพท์และวลีพื้นฐานแบบนี้ไว้ พร้อมทั้งทำความเข้าใจระบบการจ่ายเงินที่เปลี่ยนไปอย่างรวดเร็วในจีน เพื่อให้คุณสามารถทานอาหารและจ่ายเงินได้อย่างมั่นใจ ไม่เกิดความล่าช้าและยังสร้างความประทับใจให้กับคนท้องถิ่น สุดท้าย อย่าลืมฝึกพูดคำนี้บ่อย ๆ และลองใช้เมื่ออยู่ในร้านอาหารจีน เพื่อสร้างเสริมประสบการณ์การใช้ภาษาจีนในชีวิตจริง พร้อมเปิดโอกาสให้ตัวเองเรียนรู้วัฒนธรรมที่แตกต่างและสนุกสนานไปกับการเดินทางอย่างแท้จริง!
