Chinese one word equivalent of "please" to acknowledge a question


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello members of Chinese Forums, first post here. I currently study Chinese at Qinghua University. When I buy things at the supermarket, sometimes the clerk will ask me if I would like a bag. "袋子?“ Now I can say ”袋子“ or ”是的” but in the same situation in English I may say "please [give me a bag]". I get the feeling that 请 cannot be used in this way. 我猜对了吗?

yes ur right about this.

a small hint, as u said u can use '袋子' or ‘是的(好的 are more fit this situation)’, but the catch is u can only use '袋子' before they asked u '袋子?', and if they've asked, u can only use '是的' or '好的'。

:rolleyes:
