뜻
To settle the cost of goods or services.
문화적 배경
Germans value precision. Always check the bill ('die Rechnung prüfen') before paying. It is not considered rude. In Vienna, you might hear 'Zahlen, Herr Ober!' which is a very traditional way to call the waiter to pay. In Switzerland, the bill is often called 'die Quittung' or 'der Beleg' even before it is paid.
Short and Sweet
In a busy restaurant, just say 'Zahlen, bitte!' while making a writing gesture in the air.
No 'for'
Never say 'bezahlen für die Rechnung'. It's a direct object!

Cash is King
In many small German cafes, you can only pay 'bar' (cash). Always ask first!
