Courtesy manners are also very particular expressions of each culture.
For Hispanics, as in other cultures, table time is an ideal time to show courtesy to others. Learning expressions to use at that time will always be useful.
Here are some questions you might hear at the table, match them up with their answers:
¿Pero no vas a comer más? Are you not going to eat more food?
¿Te pongo un poco más de vino? Do you want some wine?
¿Me pasas la sal? Could you please pass me the salt?
¿Quién va a querer una copa? Who want a drink?
¿Abrimos otra botella de agua? Do we open another bottle of water ?
