Účet, prosím.

When to use

This is the direct and common way to signal to the staff that you wish to settle the bill and conclude your dining experience.

How it works

This simple phrase combines a noun and a polite request.

• Účet: The noun 'účet' means 'bill' or 'check' (masculine inanimate).
• prosím: The polite word 'please' or 'I ask'.

Grammatical Case

In this context, 'účet' functions as the direct object of an implied verb like 'I want' or 'Give me'. Therefore, it is in the accusative case. For masculine inanimate nouns, the accusative singular form is identical to the nominative singular form.
