意思
Asking for the bill at a restaurant
文化背景
In Denmark, the waiter will almost never bring the bill unless you ask for it. It is considered rude to 'rush' guests. In Greenlandic dining, hospitality is very informal. While the Danish phrase is used in restaurants in Nuuk, the atmosphere is often more relaxed. Similar to Denmark, but with a very strong emphasis on local connection. Using the Danish phrase is standard in Tórshavn restaurants. When paying for a group in a business context, the person who says 'Må jeg bede om regningen' is usually the one expected to pay.
The Hand Gesture
You can catch a waiter's eye and make a 'writing in the air' gesture while saying this phrase.
Tipping
Don't feel pressured to tip when the bill arrives. It's truly optional in Denmark.
