And also uh at the hotel or maybe at the restaurant since you are in Japan you don't know much about uh where to go, what to eat, so you want to ask uh local, locals favorite or recommendation so this is the question "anata no osusume wa nani desu ka?" We learned this uh grammar before anata no it's your osusume means recommendation or your favorite and nani is what desu ka question. So repeat after me, anata no osusume wa nani desu ka? That's good.
This is a great language to learn! Yuu is such a help!
