She Said Take Your Time. You Stood Up.
To say Please take your time. in Japanese, say ごゆっくり (go-yukkuri).
She said it and left. That isn't "please leave."
In this video
- ごゆっくりどうぞ。 Go-yukkuri dōzo. Please take your time.
- ごゆっくり。 Go-yukkuri. Take your time.
Why this phrase
Hana plays the server. After the food lands she says ごゆっくり and walks off. Kōfuku only knows ゆっくりお願いします, the line for "please speak slowly," so he stands up, thinking the meal is over. ごゆっくり means take your time, enjoy, stay. You'll also hear ごゆっくりどうぞ. This is a listening misread, not the video where you ask someone to slow down. Kōfuku is the customer who almost leaves. Hana delivers the line.
