Local knowledge
SayItHere covers 2,500+ real venues — each with its own phrases, cultural notes, and expected responses. Not just "at a café." At this café.
Paris, France
"Bonjour, un chocolat chaud, s'il vous plaît."
Café de Flore is famous for its thick, rich hot chocolate, made with real melted chocolate — not cocoa powder. It arrives with a small jug of extra hot chocolate on the side.
Tokyo, Japan
"おまもりは どこで かえますか？"
Where do I buy omamori charms? — おまもり is the general term for protective charms and amulets sold at temples and shrines.
Istanbul, Turkey
"Halı dükkanında pazarlık bekleniyor mu?"
Is haggling expected at carpet shops? — Haggling is part of the experience at the Grand Bazaar. Start at about half the asking price.
Prague, Czech Republic
"Je ten stůl u okna s výhledem na zrcadlo volný?"
Is the window table with mirror view free? — Tables by the large mirror are popular, but staff will indicate if one is available.
