معنی
Used in restaurants to request the check.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Estonia, it is considered polite to wait for the waiter to come near your table before asking for the bill. Waving your hands frantically is seen as rude. Like its Nordic neighbors, Estonia is almost entirely cashless. Even when you ask for the 'arve', the waiter will likely bring a card machine immediately. Splitting the bill (eraldi) is very common among friends and even on dates. Don't be surprised if the waiter asks 'Together or separately?' before you even say anything. Tipping is not built into the bill. If you want to tip, you usually add it to the card payment or leave cash on the table after the 'arve' has been settled.
Eye Contact
In Estonia, catching the waiter's eye and giving a small nod is the best way to signal you're ready for the bill.
Don't Snap
Never snap your fingers to get a waiter's attention in Estonia; it's considered very rude.
