ナイフとフォークをくださいって英語でなんて言うの？

"Please can I have a knife and fork?" is a casual and specific request for a 'knife' and 'fork' and it uses the polite form of 'please'. By saying "Please can I have some cutlery?" you are referring to the tools that are required to eat. This can also include a spoon or other forms of eating tools you might need. The use of "silverware" in place of cutlery is not different in most cases. However, if you are at a place where you don't know if they have cutlery that is made of metal but may rather be plastic or another material, 'cutlery' is more appropriate and overall more general. *You can also interchange 'can' for 'may' in any of these examples; in casual English 'can' has become more common over the correct grammatical 'may'.

When you are at a restaurant, a casual way of getting the waiter to bring you a knife and fork would be 'Excuse me, could I get a knife and fork please?' Also by using 'Excuse me' is being polite when asking in a casual way. A more formal way of asking is to use the word 'silverware' or 'cutlery'

If you would like to ask a waiter for a fork and knife at a restaurant you can do so by saying "Could you please bring me a set of cutlery?" or "Can I please have a set of silverware please?". Both of these are formal ways to ask for cutlery.

All three of these questions can be used interchangeably as they all have the same meaning when asked. The main thing to notice is that we can use the word, "silverware," or, "cutlery," to define and describe a fork, knife and even spoon. However if you just specifically say what cutlery items that you need, this is also acceptable.

When you want to ask your waiter to bring you a fork and knife; then you may express this in the following ways: -May I please have a fork and knife? -Can I trouble you for a knife and a fork? -Please bring me some silverware. All the above may be used in formal and casual situations, but a more casual way to say this is: -Please grab me a knife and a fork

In both the first and second request, you are politely asking the waiter or waitress to bring you a knife and a fork.Your politeness is emphasized through the adverb 'please'.Because the two items are separate tools, it is important that you place the determiner 'a' before each noun, 'a' fork and 'a' knife.However, if you happen to be asking for several of each of these two items because there are three of you at the table, they become forks and knives without the determiner 'a'.As for the noun 'cutlery' used in the third request, it is a collective noun for forks, knives and spoons. So you may say: May I please have a knife and a fork? or Please bring me a fork and a knife. or I could do with some cutlery please. or, if there are two, three, or four of you, you may say: May we have forks and knives please?

Could I get a knife and fork? - This feels very informal to me so if you are in a diner, I would suggest using this when addressing your server. Could you please bring me some cutlery? - This feels a bit more formal but still casual. I think it could work in a nice restaurant, especially when you use the term "cutlery." "Can you bring me some silverware?" - This sounds more formal than the previous two sentences. It's very polite and instead of saying "knife and fork" you are saying "silverware," which flows naturally. This can be used in a nice or upscale restaurant.

Formal: May I have some eating utensils please? Casual: Can you bring me a knife and fork please? The words "eating utensils" can be used to describe a fork, knife, and spoon. But in the case of the formal answer, instead of saying eating utensils, you can specify, a knife and fork. This won't make it sound casual, you are just being specific. The second answer, is more casual, but still polite. The word silverware is also used to describe eating utensils. But it would probably only be used in a more formal setting.

"May I have (item name)?" Is a common, polite way to ask for something. "Could I get (item name)?" is much more casual and sounds a bit rough to some people.

All of these are appropriate ways to ask for a fork and knife in a restaurant, but they get increasingly more formal. Using "Can" in the question is more informal, but still appropriate for casual restaurants. "Could" is a bit more formal, and is more appropriate when asking the waiter to perform an action, such as "bring me a fork and knife." Using could makes it sound like a kind request, rather than an order or demand. Finally, "May" is the most formal way to ask a question, and is most appropriate for fine dining restaurants. "Cutlery" is also a more formal way of saying silverware, also best used in a fine dining setting. Note, that "please" should be present in every form of the question, however it can be moved around and placed correctly, either at the end of the sentence, or directly after the subject and before the verb.

When you would like something or for someone to do a favor for you, it is always most polite and formal to actually ask, which is why the first sentence is a formal example. The second sentence is a request and while it is still polite, it is more informal than a question. I hope that this helps. :)

A word to describe the combination of 'a knife, spoon, and fork' is 'silverware.' For example: "Excuse me, can I please have some silverware? There is none on the table." Silverware is ALWAYS SINGULAR. You would not say 'silverwares' in any situation. You can also ask for 'cutlery,' but silverware fits in all situations.
