244: What can I get you?


Ne ikram edim size?
= What can I get you?



*ikram edim [from ikram etmek= to offer; to serve; to treat]


Language Tip:
The noun "ikram" means [=honoring; treat]. 

The question "Ne ikram edim size?" is used to ask your guest/guests what they would like to have or drink. You can also say "size/sana ne ikram edebilirim?" [=What can I get you?]. Listen out for this phrase when you are shopping around as shop owners usually offer you a cup of tea as "ikram":

Size çay ikram edebilirim? 
[=Can I get you some tea? / Would you like some tea?]
