    Risto Kupsala:Yes, English has several meanings. The one that I meant is "to serve master or customer". I would like to create another page for "to serve" in the sense "to wait", but both words are in use in different meaning already.
    Jens Wilkinson:Verbs like this are always difficult. In English we say "serve his master" but also things like "serve customers" or even "serve dinner" and "serve as president." In Japanese these would all be different verbs. I put in the one for "serve a master," but it's not all that common.
