When to use

Say this to the host or server when you need seating for two people. It is a complete and natural restaurant request even though it does not contain a verb.

How it works

Czech commonly uses a short noun phrase as a service request when the intended action is obvious from the situation.

  • Stůl: a table (masculine inanimate noun).
  • pro dva: for two; `pro` (for) is a preposition that always takes the accusative case. `dva` is the masculine form of the numeral 'two', used here to refer to two people (dva lidé/lidi are implied).
  • prosím: please; it softens the compact request.

Tone

The wording is neutral and standard with restaurant staff. `Prosím` keeps the otherwise brief request courteous rather than abrupt.

Notes

Use this concise, polite request when arriving at a restaurant without a table assignment.
