In this lesson, you'll learn how to ask for something that you want (like an item or a service)
with the phrase o-negai shimasu. You may recognize this as part of the phrase we learned
for introductions: yoroshiku onegai shimasu.
Asking f or Some t hing wit h One gai Shimasu
The phrase o-negai shimasu basically means "please" in English, and we use it when
asking for something. To ask for something, simply say o-negai shimasu after you say the
name of the item or service that you want.
