¿¿Sabes qué??
 
Maya's, un restaurante mexicano, ¡¡me contrató!! Estoy muy muy emocionado porque se habla español allí, ¡y podré practicar mi español con hablantes nativos! ¡Ayyyyy! :D
(Disculpame, estoy un poquito emocionado jaja)

¡Felicidades, Shmunky!

El trabajo se hará más agradable si haces algo que te entusiasma. :)

shmunkyman33 April 25, 2011 06:36 PM

De acuerdo :) ¿sabe si hay una palabra para un "busser"? porque ese será mi trabajo, pero no sé si hay una traducción español...

AngelicaDeAlquezar April 25, 2011 07:05 PM

En México se llaman "garroteros". Son quienes ponen el servicio (los cubiertos, platos, servilletas, salero, pimientero, azucarera, etc.), sirven la comida, recogen los platos sucios, limpian la mesa...

Ah, muchas gracias. De hecho, ya soy garrotero en[?] tiempo parcial en otro restaurante, por la calle jaja

Terminarás hablando español "entonadito", o sea, con la cadencia mexicana que es muy agrable;)
Aprenderás palabras en castellano pero que no todos te entenderemos, sobre todo en el campo culinario.
Será una buen escuela. ¡Fortuna!

A Italia llegan migrantes magrebíes y de África Central quienes se establecen en distintas regiones. Es muy simpático escucharlos hablar en el dialecto de esa región. O como yo, que tengo el "sonsonete" salentino.Y cuando viví en Roma, la cadencia era 'romanesca':p

Congratulations.

I hope you enjoy you new job.:D
I'm waiting a job where I can practice my English too. Although I practice sometimes English here in my currently job that's not enough for me.

How I can say Garrotero in English.

Always I had the curiosity to know how I can translate it into of English.

Sincerely yours.

It is an "assistant waiter", although it could also be a "rip-off artist" in Chile. :D

I think you could also translate it as "busser," as in one who busses tables, clears the plates and wipes the table down, etc.

Right. I didn't expect you to know that! :)

This must be AmE, I've never heard it before.

Yep, definitely AmE; "assistant waiter" is not typically used here. A related term is "barback", a bartender's assistant who fetches ice, refills the bottled-beer chest, taps fresh kegs, and helps keep things tidy, but does NOT take drink orders or serve guests.

What is the name of the dictionary?

poli April 28, 2011 09:37 AM

I wonder if the British term is busboy. Although the term busboy sounds old or politically-incorrect to me, it's the term used around New York City--much more common than busser.

Gran Diccionario Oxford. It comes with a CD so it is loaded onto my computer - indispensable.

Nope, I've not heard that either.

Thanks.
