Today's Lesson
ORDER / TAKE YOUR ORDER   注文（する）／注文を取る

Explanation

  • To order something at a restaurant, coffee shop, etc. is to request something to eat or drink.

    The particular food and/or beverages that you request are your order.

    If a waiter or other person takes your order, they listen to and record your order (by writing it down, inputting it into a machine, etc.).
  • 動詞の order には、レストランや喫茶店などで食べ物や飲み物を頼む、という意味があります。

    名詞の order は、その頼んだ食べ物や飲み物のことを指します。

    ウェイターなどがあなたの注文を聞いて、それを紙に書いたり機械に入力したりして記録することを、take your order と言います。
