「」「」
'How many in your party?' 'Three.'
Literal
'How-many-honored-persons is?' 'Three-persons is.'
A classic restaurant greeting exchange. 何名様 uses the counter 名 (persons) with the honorific suffix 様 — standard keigo for counting customers. The answer 3名です mirrors the counter without the honorific. This minimal dialogue is instantly recognizable to anyone who has eaten out in Japan.
