大家好!
I was recently at a Chinese restaurant, and was wondering how to say "Excuse me. Could we (or I) have a pot of tea, please?"? (The dishes had already been ordered and tea did not come automatically at this restaurant)
Would this be: "服务员,来一壶茶"? (Would 一 here be pronounced yī or yì, or are both possible in this phonetic context?) I found it hard to pronounce actually because of all the 二声...
Although I think that the sentence above is possible in Chinese, would there be any other translations for it? Would you add any words, for example, to make it sound more polite?
Thanks!
