    The document summarizes a conversation between a customer and a store clerk at a grocery store in Spanish. The customer asks for half a kilo of tortillas, twelve eggs, and ten pesos of avocado. The clerk says it will be ready in a moment. A few minutes later, the clerk provides the items to the customer and tells her the total is forty-seven pesos. The customer pays and thanks the clerk, who wishes her a good day in return. The document notes that while "buy" would be "comprar" in Spanish, the question is posed more softly as "what are you going to take/llevar" which implies buying in this context.

    SAME TEXT IN ENGLISH

    -Good morning!
    -Good morning, Mrs!What would you like to buy?
    -I would like half a kilo of tortillas, twelve eggs and ten pesos of avocado.
    -Alright, you will have it in a moment.
    -Alright.
    (a couple of minutes later)
    -Here you are Mrs.
    -How much would it be?
    -Forty seven pesos
    -Here you are Don
    -Thanks Mrs., have a nice day!
    -Thanks, see you later!

    Please notice that buy is in bolt style. I highlighted it because I want to explain; that it doesnt mean
    llevar (llevar in english is take). Buy in spanish means comprar, but I didnt translate it literally
    because in spanish most of the questions and requirements are said in a softer way. You wouldnt say:
    Qu es lo que va a comprar? because it sounds kinda rude. Instead, you ask: Qu es lo que va a
    llevar? You instantly get that in this phrase llevar means buy, because a a merchant wouldnt give
    away his/her products.

    P.S. Now you owe me some candies :)
