Unit summary

Ordering in a café — and the two cases that ride along: the genitive (a cup *of* coffee, no tea, I don't have) and the instrumental (coffee *with* milk). Both as fixed phrases, on the food, numbers and frames you already own.

units[18].summary.en

Communicative competency

After this unit, you'll be able to order in a café with Мо́жно / Я хочу́, ask for a cup of coffee or tea (ча́шка ко́фе / ча́я), order it with milk, lemon or sugar (с молоко́м / лимо́ном / са́харом), say what you don't have (У меня́ нет …), understand «нет ча́я» when they've run out, and carry a whole café visit end to end.

Narration (Sarah)

You've ordered before — in the shop, with Мо́жно The cafe is the same table set again: ко́фе, чай, суп, хлеб. You point, you ask Ско́лько сто́ит?, you hear the answer in рубле́й — all of it already yours. One small new thing today: ча́шка, a cup. You'll want it in a moment. For now, just step inside. Listen. *Can I have a coffee?* — Мо́жно ко́фе? *I want tea.* — Я хочу́ чай. *A cup.* — ча́шка

introAudioru.a1.u20.l2.intro

Narration (Sarah)

In English a cup holds coffee. In Russian it holds *of* coffee — ча́шка ко́фе. And here's a gift: ко́фе never changes its shape, so ча́шка ко́фе is just two words side by side. Tea bends a little — чай becomes ча́я — so a cup of tea is ча́шка ча́я. Don't study the bend; keep the whole phrase. *A cup of coffee, a cup of tea.* Listen. *a cup of coffee* — ча́шка ко́фе *a cup of tea* — ча́шка ча́я

Supporting text

A greeting, an order, the small honesty of нет ча́я, a coffee with milk, a price in рубле́й, and thanks. Eight lines, and you owned almost all of them before today — the unit only added ча́шка, са́хар, лимо́н, and the two little moves: of (ча́шка ко́фе) and with (с молоко́м). That's a café, handled in Russian.

introAudioru.a1.u20.l4b.intro

Narration (Sarah)

You can order in a café. A restaurant is a slightly bigger occasion, and it needs two more words. — Рестора́н. *A restaurant.* Рестора́н. Stress right at the end — res-ta-RAN. Say it with Ка́тя. — Рестора́н. And the first thing you'll want once you sit down. — Меню́. *A menu.* Меню́. Stress on the end again — meh-NYOO. Now, something worth noticing about this word. Меню́ never changes. Not after a preposition, not as an object, not ever — it looks the same in every sentence. You've already met two words that behave like this: метро́, and ко́фе. Russian borrowed all three and left them alone. So there's nothing extra to learn here — just меню́, always. Say it with Ка́тя. — Меню́. And now the ask, with мо́жно, exactly as you've been using it. Мо́жно меню́? *Could I have the menu?* Because меню́ doesn't change, you don't have to do anything to it — compare that with мо́жно во́ду, where вода́ had to shift. — Молоде́ц!
