Extract from the original article:
1. Do you have any recommendations?
The first phrase is “do you have any recommendations?” This is great to use when you get to a restaurant where you don’t know what the food is, you don’t know anything about the local cuisine, or you’re just feeling a little bit adventurous; you can ask the waitstaff “do you have any recommendations?”
2. How much is this?
This is useful when you’re out shopping or when you’re in a restaurant, and the price is not clearly marked or something is not clear to you, so you can ask “how much is this?”
Usually, when you point to something, I would recommend, like, pointing to the menu, pointing to an item, “how much is this?”
