JMdict 1263550

In a sentence

現金(げんきん)cashでおねがいします

Cash, please

How it works

現金(げんきん) (cash) takes で (by means of), the particle that marks the method or means — here, the way you'll pay. Then comes the set request おねがいします (please), the polite します (do, polite) form of する (do) attached to おねがい. Put together it's the standard polite "cash, please" you'd say at a register.
