I'm collecting helpful French translations - please tell me...

In preparation of our trip in two weeks, I%26#39;ve been using dictionary.com to translate any questions I might need to ask into French - and have them at my fingertips.

Question for recent travelers - what phrase/question/statement did you find yourself using the most?

For example, asking a waiter to help you choose:

%26quot;Quel est votre favori?%26quot; (Which is your favorite?)

|||

Carafe de l%26#39;eau s%26#39;il vous plait!

gets you a carafe of drinkable water on your table...not mineral or soda water but just plain free yummy tap water.

Une Carafe de vin rouge (carafe of red table wine)
