This is a review and application lesson where you recall and use what you've learned. Look at the meaning first and say it, then check the answer and pronunciation. Cho tôi… is a way to politely request ‘Please give me …’. Adding ạ at the end makes it even more polite. Local forms of address and intonation are important, and ly is the word for counting glasses. bao nhiêu tiền is an expression for asking the price. này means ‘this’, không can mean either a negative or a question depending on the context. For card payments, check if it’s possible first.
