Phrases for hotel check-in and booking a table at a restaurant

Exercise 1. Memorize these phrases. Listen to them and repeat.

bronlaganman / bron qilganman — I have booked
Harflab ayting. — Spell it out.
Kechirasiz. — Excuse me.
Xayrli tong. — Good morning.
Rahmat. — Thank you.
(Nima) xizmat? / Labbay. / Sizga qanday yordam berishim mumkin? — How can I help you?
Menga ertaga stol kerak. / Iltimos, ertaga stol bron qilishim mumkinmi? / Men ertaga stol band qilmoqchiman. — A table for tomorrow, please.
To’g’ri. — Correct.

Let’s go over some phrases in more detail.

bronlaganman / bron qilganman — I have booked

• bron qilganman — “I have booked.”
• bronlaganman — colloquial variant of “I have booked.”
• “I have a reservation” in Uzbek also can be translated as Joy bron qilingan — “the place is booked” (passive form).

Recommendation:
If you want to emphasize that you made the booking yourself, use:

• Men joy bron qilganman.
• Men oldindan band qilganman.

There is a difference between “I have booked” and “I have a reservation.” If you want to use an impersonal, passive construction, use joy bron qilingan. Sometimes it may sound better.

(Nima) xizmat? / Labbay. / Sizga qanday yordam berishim mumkin? — How can I help you?

The three forms have different styles:

Phrase	Translation	Style
(Nima) xizmat?	“What can I get you?” / “How can I help?”	conversational, traditional
Labbay.	“At your service!” / “I’m listening to you”	old Uzbek, polite-traditional
Sizga qanday yordam berishim mumkin?	“How can I help you?”	neutral-polite, modern

All three phrases are used depending on the situation (from a café to a hotel reception).

Menga ertaga stol kerak. / Iltimos, ertaga stol bron qilishim mumkinmi? / Men ertaga stol band qilmoqchiman. — A table for tomorrow, please.

• The first option is the simplest, but not very polite: “I need a table for tomorrow.”
• The second is a polite question: “May I book a table for tomorrow?”
• The third is descriptive: “I want to book a table for tomorrow.”

Also recommended:

• In conversation: Ertaga stol kerak edi. (more polite)
• Or: Ertaga stol band qilmoqchiman, iltimos.
