When you’re at la macelleria, la panetteria, or any place that requires you to wait in line (like while waiting to get a SIM card at the TIM store), what phrase does one use to ask who is next in line?
A chi tocca? - Who is next?
You might also hear - A chi sta? - Who is next?
You could answer by saying:
Tocca a me. - I’m next.
Tocca a lei. - She’s next.
Tocca a lui. - He’s next.
Sta a me. - I’m next.
Sta a lei. - She’s next.
Sta a lui. - He’s next.
You could also add a useful phrase when you wait in a queue and you don’t know who’s the last one before you:
Chi è l’ultimo? - Who is last in line?

Un abbraccio,
