At the bakery, state the kind and amount before checking the total.
The idea
Use quisiera with a number and bread type, such as dos barras integrales. Ask ¿cuánto cuestan? for the price.
Examples
- Quisiera dos barras integrales, por favor.I would like two wholemeal loaves, please.
- ¿Tienen pan de centeno hoy?Do you have rye bread today?
- Deme tres panecillos pequeños, por favor.Give me three small rolls, please.
- ¿Cuánto cuestan las dos barras?How much do the two loaves cost?
- Son cuatro euros en total.That is four euros in total.
- Entonces, una barra blanca más, gracias.Then one more white loaf, thank you.
