A2 Collocation خنثی

Pagar la cuenta.

Pay the bill.

معنی

To settle the amount owed for goods or services.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The 'sobremesa' is essential. Don't ask to pay the bill immediately after finishing your food; wait at least 15-20 minutes. Tipping is expected. When you pay the bill, it's customary to leave 10-15% as 'propina'. In some traditional cafes, the waiter might use the term 'la adición' instead of 'la cuenta'. It is very common for one person to pay for the whole group, especially on birthdays or special occasions.

💬

The 'Air Writing' Gesture

In many Spanish-speaking countries, you can signal the waiter to bring the bill by making a writing motion in the air with your hand.

⚠️

Check for 'Servicio'

Always check if the service charge is included before you pay the bill to avoid double-tipping.
