The Hotel, the Restaurant and the Tea Shop — Eating Out in Kerala | Learn Malayalam #193
Descrizione
Eating out in Kerala has three settings with three vocabularies and three sets of expectations, and knowing which one you are in is half the skill.
THE WORD THAT CATCHES EVERY VISITOR
In Kerala a ഹോട്ടൽ is a modest restaurant. Not a place to sleep. നമുക്ക് ഹോട്ടലിൽ പോകാം means let us go and eat. A place to sleep is a ലോഡ്ജ് or a റിസോർട്ട്.
THE THREE SETTINGS
ചായക്കട the tea shop — small, benches, open very early, tea and fried snacks in a glass case. The cheapest, the most sociable, and the best place in Kerala to practise Malayalam.
ഹോട്ടൽ the ordinary restaurant — meals at fixed times, fast service, shared tables. The core offering is ഊണ്, the meal: rice with several accompaniments at a fixed price with unlimited refills.
റെസ്റ്റോറന്റ് the modern sit-down place with a printed menu and tax on the bill.
ENTERING AND ORDERING
രണ്ട് പേർക്ക് സ്ഥലമുണ്ടോ? is there room for two?
ഇന്ന് എന്താണ് ഉള്ളത്? what is there today? · ഊണ് ഉണ്ടോ? is there a meal?
ഊണ് എപ്പോൾ തുടങ്ങും? when does the meal start?
ഒരു ചായ one tea · കട്ടൻ ചായ black tea · പഞ്ചസാര വേണ്ട no sugar
മീൻ കറി ഉണ്ടോ? is there fish curry? · ഏത് മീനാണ്? which fish is it?
വെജിറ്റേറിയൻ ആണ് I am vegetarian · ഞാൻ ബീഫ് കഴിക്കില്ല I don't eat beef
എരിവ് കുറച്ച് മതി less chilli · ഉപ്പ് കുറച്ച് മതി less salt
ഇത് വെജ് ആണോ നോൺവെജ് ആണോ? is this veg or non-veg?
Say what you do not eat plainly and without apology. Nobody will be offended — everybody in Kerala has neighbours with different rules.
DURING AND AFTER
കുറച്ചുകൂടി ചോറ് a little more rice · മതി enough · വെള്ളം തരാമോ? can I have water?
ഇത് വളരെ രുചിയുണ്ട് this is very tasty
ബില്ല് തരാമോ? the bill · ആകെ എത്രയായി? how much altogether?
കാർഡ് എടുക്കുമോ? do you take card? · ഗൂഗിൾ പേ ചെയ്യാമോ? can I pay by Google Pay?
Kerala is not a strong tipping culture. In a tea shop or small hotel none is expected; over-tipping reads as unfamiliarity rather than generosity.
