المعنى
Requesting the check at a restaurant.
خلفية ثقافية
Waiters will never bring the bill unless you ask. It's considered rude to make the guest feel like they should leave. In Western Armenian communities (Lebanon, USA), 'Հաճեցէք' is often used instead of 'Խնդրում եմ'. In modern cafes, you might see people just making a 'writing in the air' gesture to the waiter, which is a non-verbal version of this phrase. The person who invited the others usually pays. Asking for the bill is a signal that the meeting is over.
The Eye Contact Rule
In Armenia, catching the waiter's eye and slightly nodding while saying the phrase is the most effective way to get service.
The 'Fight' for the Bill
If you are with Armenians, be prepared for them to refuse to let you pay. It's a sign of their hospitality.

Card vs Cash
Always check 'Քարտով կարելի՞ է' (Is card possible?) before asking for the bill if you don't have cash, as some smaller places are cash-only.

In most Yerevan restaurants, a 10% service charge is automatically added. Check the bottom of the bill for 'սպասարկման վճար'.
