Polite requests at work
በሥራ ቦታ በትሕትና መጠየቅ
Ask colleagues and managers for things politely, and accept or refuse requests.
How it works
In English, "Give me the file" sounds rude at work. Softer words like could, would and I was wondering make a request polite.
በእንግሊዝኛ "Give me the file" በሥራ ቦታ ጨዋነት የጎደለው ይመስላል። could፣ would እና I was wondering ጥያቄውን ትሑት ያደርጉታል።
Examples
Listen, then tap the microphone to record yourself and compare. Your voice stays on your phone.
Could you send me the file, please?
እባክዎ ፋይሉን ሊልኩልኝ ይችላሉ?
Would you mind closing the door?
በሩን ቢዘጉት ቅር ይልዎታል?
ከ"Would you mind" በኋላ ግሱ -ing ይይዛል። "No, not at all" ማለት "ችግር የለም" ነው።
I was wondering if you could help me with this report.
በዚህ ሪፖርት ሊረዱኝ ይችሉ እንደሆነ ለመጠየቅ ነበር።
Would it be possible to leave early on Friday?
ዓርብ ቀደም ብዬ መውጣት ይቻል ይሆን?
Do you think you could check this for me?
ይህን ሊያዩልኝ ይችሉ ይሆን?
Could I borrow your charger for a minute?
ቻርጀርዎን ለአንድ ደቂቃ መዋስ እችላለሁ?
Sure, no problem.
