意味
Asking for the check in a restaurant.
文化的背景
In Latvia, the bill is almost never brought to the table automatically. It is considered rude for a waiter to 'rush' a guest by bringing the bill before it is requested. Tipping is usually 10% in restaurants with table service. If you pay by card, you often have to tell the waiter the total amount you want to pay (including tip) before they swipe the card. The 'writing in the air' gesture is universally understood in Latvian restaurants if it's too noisy to speak. In smaller towns or older cafes, you might still see a 'maksāt pie kases' sign, meaning you should pay at the counter rather than asking for the bill at the table.
The Air-Write
If the waiter is far away, making a writing motion in the air while saying 'rēķinu' is very effective.
Don't Wait Forever
Latvian waiters won't bring the bill until you ask. If you sit waiting, they will assume you are still enjoying your time.

よくある質問
10 問No, it's expected. Just say 'Atvainojiet!' (Excuse me) or 'Lūdzu, rēķinu!' when they pass by.
It's grammatically correct but sounds very blunt. Always add 'lūdzu' to be polite.
Say 'Mēs maksāsim atsevišķi' (We will pay separately) after asking for the bill.
This means you should go to the cash register to pay. You don't need to ask for the bill at the table.
'Rēķins' is the bill you get before paying. 'Čeks' is the receipt you get after paying. In casual speech, people sometimes say 'Čeku, lūdzu!'
It's preferred, but you can also add it to the card payment by telling the waiter the total amount.
Because it's in the accusative case, acting as the object of the (implied) verb 'to bring'.
In Latvia, it's rarely included. If it is, it will be noted as 'apkalpošana' on the bill.
You can say 'Es izmaksāju' or 'Es samaksāšu par visiem'.
Say 'Atvainojiet, šeit ir kļūda' (Excuse me, there is a mistake here).
