๐ŸŒธ

ใ€œใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ (te kudasai) โ€” please do

ใ€œใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ is the go-to way to politely ask someone to do something. It uses the ใฆ-form of a verb + ใใ ใ•ใ„ (please). This is one of the most useful phrases for daily life โ€” ordering food, asking for directions, or requesting help. You'll sound polite and natural every time!
