1. Can I smoke here?
  No. No smoking, please!
  No, it's not allowed.
  No, it's not possible to smoke here.

2. What did he say?
  It does not concern you.
  It wasn't about you, so you shouldn't care.
  Oh, nothing. He was talking about something else.

3. Why is the sauna closed?
  It'll be open soon, just don't worry.
  They're fixing something. It'll be open soon.
  Don't worry about it so much. It's being fixed.

6. I'm not picking up any channels on my TV.
  It's the cable.
  It must be the cable. Since you can't do it yourself, I'll send someone to help you.
  It must be the cable. I'll send someone up to see if it's connected properly.

7. Where do I park my car?
  In the parking lot to the right.
  In the parking lot, of course.
  In the parking lot, where else?

8. I don't have a minibar in my room.
  Actually, none of our rooms have minibars.
  Noone does.
  That's right. You don't, sir. And noone else does either if that's any consolation.

  Why didn't you tell me before?
  If it happens again, please let me know and I'll ask them to be quiet.
  You should have told me before. Don't be afraid!

  OK.
  Yes, I'm aware of this, thanks.
  It is, isn't it?
