はい、大丈夫ですよ。あちらの席でしたらコンセントが使えます。
はい、だいじょうぶですよ。あちらのせきでしたらコンセントがつかえます。
Yes, that's fine. You can use an outlet at that seat over there.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold up your phone or charger to clearly indicate what you wish to charge.
Always ask for permission before plugging in any device. Do not monopolize an outlet for an extended period, especially during busy hours. Be prepared to be told no, as not all establishments allow charging.
