I know the 何々を下さい pattern and what not.
But, there are a few things I can’t find reliable answers for.
The first, is what is the best way to say “Please give me # order(s) of X”. Like, “Please give me 2 orders of takoyaki”. Is there a counter better than ～つ that can be applied generically for orders of food? Or is something like タコ焼きの二つを下さい good enough, or does that sound odd.
And then similar, if I want to order a combo or numbered meal (like from McDonald’s), do I just use ～番, like 三番を下さい.
And combining the questions, would I say something like 三番の二つを下さい for “please give me two #3’s”?
Finally, any other common ordering phrases I might want to know that I might not because they aren’t obvious to an English speaker when translating to Japanese?
Heading to Japan in a few days and this seems like something important to get nailed down before I go. =p
Thanks.
