考え中って英語でなんて言うの？

When you are still considering a choice and want to let someone know, like a waiter at a restaurant, you can say "I haven't decided yet."

I haven't decided what I want to order yet. The contraction "haven't", means have not. If you decide something, it means that you have come to a conclusion or a consideration. So in this case you are saying that you have not decided what you want to eat yet, meaning you do not have an answer yet. Could you give me a few more minutes to decide? You are asking the waiter/waitress if they could wait a few minutes and then return to your table for your order, because you are still deciding/thinking about what you would like to order. I am still thinking about what I want to order. This is the same as the first answer. It means that you are still thinking it over and have not decided on your order yet. If you are thinking about something, that means that you are considering your options. So again, in this case you are saying that you are still considering your options of what you would like to order.

To tell the waiter/waitress that your still looking at the menu and haven't decided yet the best way to do this would be to say "Can we have some more time please?" This would explain that you need more time before you order to decide what you want to eat/drink.

At a restaurant,when a waiter/waitress comes to ask for your order while you are still looking at the menu and haven't decided yet - you want to say that you are still thinking. Either of the above suggestion are pretty typical responses in that scenario.

"May I please have more time..." When asking the waiter or waitress for more time you are trying to let them know in a polite way that you aren't ready to order, or you may not know what you'd like to eat. "I am still thinking about...." When using this phrase you are letting the waiter or waitress know you haven't made an exact decision on what food you'd like to order. You may be struggling to decide between 2 or 3 different items to order. You may need to still think about what you want or you may even have questions to ask your waiter/waitress about the food.

You can let the waiter/waitress know you haven't decided yet by simply saying 'I'm still thinking/deciding' and you can also request for more time to decide by asking 'can you give us some more time please'.

All 3 examples are simple and common ways of telling the waitress that you haven't chosen yet and would like more time. By adding "May I have a few more minutes," to any of the 3 options, it becomes a bit more polite and more formal for when dining in a nice, fine-dining restaurant.

A lot of these sentences have very similar meanings and can be used interchangeably. Example conversation : Waiter : Are you ready to order? Customer : I haven't decided yet, I think I need a few more minutes. Waiter : Of course sir, I'll be back shortly.

Usually adding please at the end of expressing you need some more time is the most appropriate way. Server: Have you decided what you're having? You: Just a few/ couple more minutes, please. Server: Ok, take your time, I will be back shortly for your order. You: Thanks Also, 'I still need time' is common and easily lets the server know you are still deciding.

If you still need some time to pick what it is you would like to eat at a restaurant, use the sentences above. Catch my eye: looks interesting to me. "I have not yet decided, please give me a few moments." "I have no idea yet, there are a lot of meals that catch my eye, please give me more time to choose a meal." "This meal catches my eye but please give me more time to decide on some desserts."

I always need a lot of time to order something, so, I usually use one of this sentence when I have some difficulties choosing the food and drinks. Although, there are no special differences between the two of them, so feel free to use any of them.
