Que significa ¿Les tomo nota?

Question

I am listening to a Spanish podcast. While I am listening, I am also reading the Spanish transcript that goes along with it.

The story takes place in Spain. A young couple are at a restaurant and they are ready to order their food. The waiter asks them if they have already decided (¿Han decidido ya, señores?) and then he says ¿Les tomo nota? I have a feeling it means something like "Are you ready for me to take your order?" or "Shall I take your order? but I am not exactly sure how to best translate this small sentence. Can someone please help me? I thank you all in advance!

Answer 1

Yes Nilda. The both sentences means the same that you feeling it is. correct my English please. Tambien pueden decir "Les tomo su orden?" o "Ya estan listos para ordenar?" Estas son las mismas oraciones que las tuyas pero en español. These sentences are the same like yours but in spanish. Saludos.

Thank you Paco. - Nilda-Ballardo, Apr 13, 2012

"Both sentences mean the same as you feel they do. Correct..... These sentences mean the same thing in Spanish as your English sentences. Paco, glad you are helping out. Gracias. - katydew, Apr 13, 2012
