Sometimes you are really hungry but don’t have any time to cook. Other times, you simply don’t feel like cooking or are having a craving for that dish from your favorite restaurant. In these cases, ordering takeout is a great idea!

Dialogue

A: Tô com tanta fome. Não tem nada gostoso pra comer em casa.

B: Ah, acho que a gente vai passar por aquele restaurante coreano daqui a pouco. Quer ir?

A: Quero sim, mas a gente tá sem tempo. Já estamos atrasadas.

B: Bom, porque a gente não pede pra viagem?

A: Boa ideia.

B: Ai meu Deus, essa comida tá com um cheiro tão bom...

A: Vou pedir para eles botarem uns garfinhos de plástico na sacola e a gente come no carro.

B: Boa. Vou tentar não sujar o carro.

A: Você sempre se suja toda quando come...

B: Olha lá! Acho que o cara tá vindo com a nossa sacola.

A: I’m so hungry. There’s nothing good to eat at home.

B: Ooh I think I see that Korean place coming up. Wanna go there?

A: I mean yeah, but we don’t have time. We’re already late.

B: Well… why don’t we just get takeout?

A: Good idea!

B: Oh my God, that food smells so good!

A: I’ll ask them to put some forks in the bag so we can eat in the car.

B: Sounds good. I’ll try to not get the car dirty!

A: You are a very messy eater…

B: Hey! I think I see the guy coming with our bag.
