I have a story about ordering tea (the) in Paris.  Tim and I were in a department store cafe and I said to the waiter, “Du the, s’il vous plait”.  He heard, “Deux the, s’il vous plait.”  We were served two teas.  I had ordered some (du) tea and not deux (two) teas .  Tim who really doesn’t drink tea did that day!  My pronounciation or perhaps my accent was not exact between du and deux.  You just have to smile. :-)
