Faux ami! Dutch mogen means "to be allowed to", not "may". And meer is "more".
It more or less translate litterally as "Is it okay if there's a little more?"
Though knowing Dutch, I suppose if it's an expression it means something
completely different :))) .
Where do you use that, in the market? :))
