뜻
To request food from a restaurant.
문화적 배경
Germans often prefer to pay in cash for delivery, although app payments are becoming standard. Always check if the 'Lieferservice' accepts cards. In Vienna, you might hear 'etwas kommen lassen' (to let something come) as a more old-fashioned or sophisticated way to say you are ordering food to your house. Delivery fees in Switzerland can be very high compared to Germany, leading to a culture where 'Essen bestellen' is seen as a more significant luxury.
Use 'was'
In casual German, replace 'etwas' with 'was'. 'Wollen wir was bestellen?' sounds very natural.
The 'st' sound
Remember that 'st' in 'bestellen' is pronounced 'sht'. Saying it with a hard 'st' like in 'stay' is a common English-speaker mistake.

자주 묻는 질문
6 질문Yes! You can say 'Getränke bestellen' or 'ein Bier bestellen'.
Both are correct. 'Essen bestellen' is more general (ordering food), while 'das Essen bestellen' refers to a specific meal you've already discussed.
The noun is {die|f} Bestellung.
Yes, 'bestellen' is used for any commercial order, including online shopping.
There isn't a direct 1:1 phrasal verb. You just say 'Essen nach Hause bestellen'.
It is neutral. It's perfectly fine in both a Döner shop and a 5-star hotel.
