अपोइन्टमेन्ट, Booking र Reservation गर्ने
एउटा टेबल, एउटा कोठा, कपाल काट्ने समय वा एउटा बैठक बुक गर्ने — साथै समस्या नपारी यसलाई बदल्ने वा रद्द गर्ने तरिका।
Booking एउटा छोटो, धेरै अनुमान गर्न सकिने आदानप्रदान हो। यसको ढाँचा एकपटक सिक्नुहोस् र यसले restaurants, hotels, नाईको पसल र बैठक — सबैमा उस्तै काम गर्छ।
Booking को ढाँचा
१. के चाहिन्छ भन्नुहोस् → २. विवरण दिनुहोस् → ३. आफ्नो नाम भन्नुहोस् → ४. पुष्टि गर्नुहोस्
I'd like to book a table, please.
For four people, on Friday at eight.
The name's Cooper.
So that's Friday the ninth at eight, for four. Lovely, thank you.
चरण ४ त्यो हो जसलाई सिक्नेहरूले छोड्छन्, र यसैले समस्या रोक्छ। विवरण दोहोर्याएर सुन्नुहोस्।
Book, reserve कि make?
- book — दैनिक शब्द: book a table · book a room · book a flight
- reserve — अलि बढी औपचारिक, उही अर्थ
- make an appointment — कुनै व्यक्तिसँग कुनै सेवाका लागि: doctor, dentist, hairdresser
- arrange a meeting — कामका लागि
तपाईं table book गर्नुहुन्छ तर appointment make गर्नुहुन्छ। दुवै तय छन्। नेपालीमा डाक्टरको 'समय लिनु' भनिन्छ; अंग्रेजीमा take an appointment होइन, make an appointment।
Restaurant
- Do you have a table for two at seven?
- I'm afraid we're fully booked at seven. Would half past do?
- Could we have a table by the window / outside?
- It's for a birthday.
Hotel
- Do you have any rooms available for the 3rd?
- A double, for two nights.
- Is breakfast included?
- What time is check-in / check-out?
- Is there parking?
कुनै व्यक्तिसँग अपोइन्टमेन्ट
- I'd like to make an appointment with Dr Shah.
- How soon could I be seen?
- Do you have anything first thing / after five?
- How long does it take? · How much is it?
- Is it the same price with a different stylist?
कामका दुई समय-वाक्यांश: first thing (बिहान चाँडै) र last thing (दिनको अन्त्यमा)।
कार्यस्थलमा बैठक तय गर्ने
कामको booking का लागि पहिले उपलब्धताको एक चरण चाहिन्छ:
- Are you free on Thursday morning?
- Does Tuesday at two work for you?
- I'm free any time after eleven.
- Shall we say ten, then?
- I'll send an invite.
जवाफ होइन भने: Thursday's no good, I'm afraid — would Friday work?
उनीहरूले तपाईंलाई समय दिन सक्दैनन् भने
- We're fully booked, I'm afraid. → Is there a waiting list?
- Nothing until the 14th. → Could you let me know if anything comes up?
- Would you consider an earlier time?
बदल्ने वा रद्द गर्ने
यहीँ शिष्टता सबैभन्दा बढी मायने राख्छ, किनकि तपाईं असुविधा पैदा गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ।
- I'd like to change my booking, if that's possible.
- Could we move it to Thursday instead?
- I'm afraid I need to cancel.
- I'm sorry for the short notice.
- Is there a cancellation fee?
छोटो सूचनाका लागि माफी माग्नुहोस्। स्वीकार नगरी रद्द गर्नु अंग्रेजीमा लापरबाह पढिन्छ, तपाईंको त्यसो गर्ने अधिकार भए पनि।
उनीहरूले प्रयोग गर्ने वाक्यांश
- Bear with me a moment. (कृपया पर्खनुहोस्)
- Can I take your name?
- We're fully booked.
- That's all confirmed.
- You should get a confirmation email.
- Under what name?
- We'll need a card to hold the booking.
फोन राख्नुअघि ठूलो स्वरमा पुष्टि गर्नुहोस्। So that's Friday the ninth, eight o'clock, four people, under Cooper? कुनै booking को हरेक विवरण एउटा सङ्ख्या वा एउटा नाम हो — ठ्याक्कै त्यही जुन अर्को भाषामा गलत सुनिन्छ — र अर्कोपट्टिको व्यक्तिले यो जाँचको अपेक्षा गर्छ, यसलाई अनौठो ठान्दैन।
Booking गर्ने, त्यसपछि बदल्ने
A: Good afternoon, Bella's.
B: Hello — could I book a table for four on Friday at eight?
A: Bear with me… I'm afraid we're fully booked at eight. Would half past do?
B: Half past is fine. The name's Cooper.
A: Lovely. That's Friday the ninth, half eight, table for four.
B: Perfect, thank you.
[भोलिपल्ट]
B: Hello, I've got a table booked for Friday under Cooper — I'm afraid I need to move it to Saturday. Sorry for the short notice.
Booking, दोहोर्याएर सुन्ने, र बदल्नका लागि माफी — पूरा चक्र।
