La Cuenta

Real World Example

The Spanish phrase "la cuenta" translates to "the check" in English, like the one you ask for at a restaurant when you're done dining. To help you remember this, think of "la cuenta" as your "cue to end-a" the meal. When you're ready to wrap up your time at a restaurant, you ask for "la cuenta" as your cue to finish up and face the bill. Picture a waiter handing you a theatrical cue card that says, "Time to pay!" 🎭
