How to say "Please ~" in Japanese ? : Japanese lecture by Kamonohashi


(two characters talking in phone calling)
Ms.Cat"Hi , Kamonohashi , this is Ms.Cat!!"
Kamonohashi "Hello~ how are you ??"
Ms.Cat "Ah......."
Kamonohashi "What ?"
Ms.Cat"I heard from my friend but you went fishing yesterday and you got a lot isn't it ?"
Kamonohashi "Ah!! Yes yes , so today's dinner is Sushi ~~~"
Ms.Cat "Kamonohashi!!! Give me some of it !!!! Please!!!!!!"

Like this situation , how do you tell to your friend your feeling of "Please" in Japanese??

In English , when we want ask a favor to someone , we often use the word "please".

In Japanese , it is


お願いします(おねがいします)-onegaishimasu-

お願い(onegai) means "wishes" ~します(shimasu) means "I do~" so お願いします(onegaishimasu) means like "I wanna make(do) my wishes come true .So please accept my favor. "


How to use this words??

It's so simple!!

Request+Favor + お願いします

For example ,

I'm hungry so I wanna eat something. Give me something to eat please!!
Japanese:
私はお腹がすいていてなにか食べたいです。何か食べ物を下さいお願いします。
(watashi wa onaka ga suite ite nanika tabetai desu. nanika tabemono wo kudasai onegaishimasu.)


In this case ,

Request :
English : I wanna eat something.
Japanese :なにか食べたいです(nanika tabetai desu)

Favor :
English : Give me something to eat
Japanese : 何か食べ物を下さい(nanika tabemono wo kudasai)

Please :
English : Please!!
Japanese : お願いします。(onegaishimasu)



What do you wanna ask a favor in Japanese??
