o te mo to means "by your hands" meaning chopsticks. te is hand as in karate and moto is the "root of" or in this case "by". 'O' in the beginning makes it more of a polite way of saying the whole thing.

i wonder if i'll ever get to use that sentence. i'll be in tokyo this summer for 2-3 hours during a layover flight going to singapore. i should learn some useful stuff to say in the airport since i probably won't get to wander outside in the streets.
