Do you guys know what the title of this lesson means? It is a useful phrase for when you go to a restaurant and you want to tell the staff NOT TO ADD something. For example:
Hold the mayo. = No mayonnaise.
If you want to be more polite, you can add please.
Hold the mayonnaise, please.
In Japanese, if you don't want wasabi on your sushi you would say:
わさび抜き or
山葵なし。
So nuki or nashi is the same as:
Hold/No X.
Waiter: Are you ready to order?
Customer: Yeah, I'll have a hamburger-no pickles.
Waiter: OK, a hamburger hold the pickles. Anything else?
Customer: A martini please, hold the olives.
Waiter: A martini, no olives & a hamburger with no pickles. Got it.
Customers: Thanks.
Waiter: I'll be right back with your order.
Have a nice day!
Phil
