In this conversion, Tomita asks Tamaki. Do want to have a coffee? - [Co fui no mu?] And, Tamki replied "Yes, please"- [hai i ta da ki ma su] in Japanese. Co fui no mu is casual way of asking. So, it literally means "Want to have a coffee" rather than "Would you like to have a coffee?". On the other hand, tamaki replied more politely, as he was asked by his boss. Thus, his reply is "Yes, please" In this Japanese writting, we have shown you how to write Coffee in Japanese. You may not be able to notice the difference, but the word coffee (the first 4 characters) are written with the Katakan scripts.
