日本人がよく間違う敬語 in the serious of restaurant. 1)ご注文の方、以上でよろしかったでしょうか? Putting の方 is incorrect. の方 is used when comparing someone or something with someone or something. Ex) 寿司よりそばの方が好きです。 Or it will be available when object is vague. Ex) 大阪の方から来ました。From Osaka is contaiend in the direction where the pesron came from but it is not clear the specific place. Correctly, you are to say 'ご注文は、以上でよろしいですか?' 2)こちらパスタになります。 literal translation in English is that 'this becomes Pasta'. Correct expression is 'パスタでございます'. 3)お飲み物は紅茶で大丈夫ですか? 大丈夫 is used when someone seems to have a trouble with something and you want to make sure that. Therefore, お飲み物は紅茶で大丈夫ですか is as if saying that 'are you OK with tea although which might cause trouble on you? Correct expression is that 紅茶でよろしいですか?. 4)お会計、1,000円からお預かりします。 It says like 'Hey Kaikei! I will take something from 1,000 yen'. What a funny but strange,isn't it? Correct expression is '1,000円お預かりします' or '1,000円頂戴します'. I refered the book of 日本人の知らない日本語 which is very funny but interesting manga=)
