Lista de números cardinais

1 - One
2 - Two
3 - Three
4 - Four
5 - Five

11 - Eleven
12 - Twelve
13 - Thirteen
14 - Fourteen
15 - Fifteen
(.. sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen .. )
20 - Twenty
21 - Twenty one

As dezenas são sempre terminadas em ty (twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, …).

As centenas são escritas da forma "uma centena" e não "cem" como no português. Portanto:

100 - One hundred

200 - Two hundred
…;

A casa dos milhares funciona como a da dezena, apenas trocando "hundred" por "thousand"

1000 = One thousand

2000 = Two thousand

Lista de números ordinais (primeiro, segundo, etc).

1 - First

7 - Seventh

(nas dezenas a partir do vinte, diferentemente dos cardinais, ao invés de ty,
colocaremos tie, seguido do th)

20 - Twentieth
21 - Twenty-first
22 - Twenty-second
(..)
30 - Thirtieth
40 - Fortieth

As abreviaturas são formadas da seguinte forma:

número + duas últimas letras da palavra composta

exemplos:
First (1) = 1st
Second (2) = 2nd
Third (3) = 3rd
Twenty-fifth (25) = 25th
As dezenas, centenas e milhares são como nos números cardinais, apenas adicionando
o th após o hundred/thousand/million

Centésimo = one hundredth = 100th

Milésimo = one thousandth = 1,000th
Milionésimo = one millionth = 1,000,000th

Hierarquia profissional
► Maitre

No que diz respeito ao restaurante, é como se fosse um anfitrião para os clientes. Deverá
distinguir-se pela sua educação, boas maneiras e cortesia. Ele supervisiona e controla
todo o trabalho executado no restaurante, garantindo a qualidade do serviço. Cabe-lhe
receber o cliente na entrada do restaurante, observar e indagar do cliente, durante a
refeição, se tudo corre a seu gosto, atender a uma reclamação. Despede-se do cliente à
saída deste, ao fim da refeição.

► Sommelier ● Wine steward

É o que apresenta a carta de vinhos e sugere ao cliente, na faixa de preços desejada,

qual poderá ser o melhor para acompanhar o prato que foi escolhido. Cabe-lhe
esclarecer dúvidas e atender as reclamações pertinentes à bebida. Assiste à degustação
do vinho pelo anfitrião e serve as taças depois daquele aprovar a qualidade do vinho
escolhido. Se o sommelier se apresentar com a tastevin o anfitrião pode pedir que ele
experimente e aprove o vinho, em seu lugar.

► Chefe de fila ● Chef of rang

Tem um papel de supervisão com atenção voltada mais para o desempenho da equipa,
enquanto o maitre tem a atenção mais voltada para o cliente. Está subordinado ao
maitre e pode substituí-lo, exercendo as duas funções simultaneamente.

► Empregado de mesa ● Waiter

Acomoda o cliente, inclusive juntando mesas ou providenciando cadeiras, ajudado pelo

commis. Anota os pedidos dos clientes e serve os pratos escolhidos; é quem apresenta
a conta quando solicitado, ao final da refeição. É parte do trabalho do empregado de
mesa esclarecer o cliente sobre os pratos constantes do menu. O cliente não deve recear
pedir informações sobre cada item que lhe interessar, seja um prato, ou um vinho.

► Commis ● Waiter Staff

É o auxiliar do empregado de mesa no serviço aos clientes, principalmente na sua

acomodação, na chegada. Limpa as mesas vazias, troca as toalhas, junta mesas para
grupos maiores de pessoas, transporta a comida da cozinha até o guéridon (mesinha ou
carrinho colocado junto ao cliente para facilitar o serviço).
