Spanish Phrase: La cuenta
Author: Johns SmithSpanish Phrase: La cuentaPronunciation: lah’ koo-wen-tah’
Translation: The bill
If you’re eating out in a local restaurant in a Spanish speaking country and you would like to get the bill, you need to say “La cuenta, por favor.” That literally means, “The bill, please.”
As you may already know, the Spanish phrase por favor translates to please in English – and if you’re asking anybody a favor, it does pay to always add that at the end of your sentence.
