うちに in this context means "while". どうぞ is a polite word that means "go ahead". (The politeness is similar to using "please", hence why we used it in the translation.) Since the customer just received a pizza, it's clear from the context that what he should "go ahead" and do is eat it!

キッドくん is literally "kid-kun" -- the English word "kid" with the Japanese honorific くん, often used with friends and, as in this case, children. くん is generally applied only to males, though there are certain situations where it can be applied to females.

Level end[edit]

Japanese
[pizza name]です

あたたかいうちに どうぞ

English
This is your [pizza name]. Please eat it while it's still warm.
  • うちに means "while still" — that is, it acts like "while", but emphasizes the impending change of state. Eat it while it's still hot — before it gets cold!
  • どうぞ is a polite word that means "go ahead". (The politeness is similar to using "please", hence why we used it in the translation.) Since the customer just received a pizza, it's clear from the context that what he should "go ahead" and do is eat it!
Japanese
どうも ありがとう キッドくん!!
English
Thanks, kid!
  • キッドくん is literally "kid-kun" -- the English word "kid" with the Japanese honorific くん, often used with friends and, as in this case, children. くん is generally applied only to males, though there are certain situations where it can be applied to females.
