How do you say “What do you wanna eat?” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
What do you wanna eat?
何食べたい？
nani tabetai
- what ＝ 何 nani
- do you ＝ あなたは* anatawa
- want to eat ＝ 食べたい tabetai
*We do not usually say “あなたは (anatawa)” in everyday conversation.
何
what
＋
食べたい
want to eat
If you want to ask politely, you can say :
何食べたいですか？
