"とりにくを一キロください。"

Translation: One kilogram of chicken, please.

[johnnybaune]

Again, i feel "Give me one kilogram of chicken" is impolite and doesn't represent the Japanese meaning (as ください is polite language).

[Nush_W]

There was a 'please' at the end of this sentence for me.

[benienhau]

A more direct translation: one kilogram of chicken please.

[hollt693]

I almost put that as my answer, but I was afraid it would be rejected.

[CaleGibbard]

A lot of earlier lessons insist that you translate 下さい as "Can I get..." but it doesn't work here. Consistency would be nice.

[Boringjorn]

一貫性ください

[DEcobra11]

But I wanted one kilometer of chicken though

[IlanIvasko]

So how do you call the meat of other birds?

[azuranyan]

The only other two birds I imagine you would need to know:

Duck meat = 「鴨肉 (かもにく)」

Turkey meat = 「七面鳥肉 (しちめんちょうにく)」

I'm assuming you're not a connoisseur of quail or pheasant. No idea what those would be.

[Sho_Japan]

We rarely eat other birds.

[poisonenvy]

鶏肉を一キロ下さい。

[BarneyHoll]

Doesn't accept "please give me a kilogram of chicken"

[V2Blast]

Yeah, it corrected "a" to "one" for me. I reported it; you should too.

[TaoSquared]

Chicken is just "bird meat"? Is chicken the only bird normally eaten in japan? Like will people assume you mean chicken if you say it, but turkey, pheasant, goose etc are also "とりにく"? Or is it just chicken and other birds would need unique terms?

[DroppedBass]

turkey and goose are very rare there, most people don't even know what a pheasant is

[e.freed.2432]

Chicken and bird are pronounced the same way, but have different kanji. So 鳥 is bird, but 鶏 is chicken.

[UnagiRyu]

I saw somewhere that a chicken is called "にわとり", literally 'yard/garden bird'.

[Nihmmie]

"Give me one kilogram of chicken" sounds like you're trying to rob the butcher...

[ze01chi]

Certainly should have been acceptable:

"One kilo of chicken meat, please."

[smartpupa]

I suggested 'one kilogram of chicken meat please' but got pipped

[Lloyd76445]

I love how chicken is literally "bird meat"

[Erisa157278]

Same thing

[ZMYaro]

It rejected “1 kg” instead of “1 kilogram”.

[julie.tran]

Can I have one kilogram of chicken please is wrong?

[MarloesOos]

My auto-correction said 'children' instead of chicken. I laughed so hard..

[Gunva]

Is the metric system standard in Japan?

[Nush_W]

Yep, Japan adopted the Metric system following the Meiji Restoration.

[Joe264823]

Is ikkiro the right pronunciation? If so are there other fir kilogram that change? If not just ignore the post

[FiNona]

I don't see how Give me one kilo of chicken meat please is incorrect and give me one kilogram of chicken is correct.

[Shopcpt1.d]

Why is " one kilogram of chicken meat please " considered incorrect? The "correct" translation starts out as a hoist, the "please" at the end does not really make it less impolite. I agree with jensbaune

[Jack834668]

"One kilogram of chicken meat please” doesn't seem to work...
