If I were to try to buy photographs in a shop and had this conversation do I use "mai" or not?
me: I would like to buy these (holding some photos)
register attendant: How many
Now do I reply with 'san mai' or just 'san'?
me: san mai kudasai
me: san onegaishimasu
Also which please do I use, I understand 'kudasai' to mean 'please' and 'onegaishimasu' to mean 'could you please' (so if you want someone to do something for you, such as pass something from afar you would use onegaishimasu)
Now if I were ordering takoyaki a piece a time (I have no clue if you can actually order takoyaki 1 by 1) and they asked how many do I simply reply 'go kudasai' or 'go onegaishimasu' or something with a counter on the end of 'go' maybe a counter for round objects?
Thanks for any replies
PS. I used English and Japanese because I don't enough Japanese to write the conversation out in full Japanese.
