While we learned how to ask for favors in the last section, in this section we’ll learn various ways to make firmer requests in the form of a statement.<\/p>\n

Using \u300c\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u300d to make a firm request<\/h2>\n

\u300c\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u300d\uff08\u4e0b\u3055\u3044\uff09 is a polite way to make a firm request for something. It can also be used with the te-form of a verb to request an action. It can be written in either Kanji or Hiragana though it’s more common to use Hiragana when combined with a verb.<\/p>\n

Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \u3042\u306e\u30da\u30f3\u3092\u4e0b\u3055\u3044<\/em>\u3002
    \nPlease give me that pen.<\/li>\n
  2. \u3042\u306e\u30da\u30f3\u3092\u4f7f\u3063\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044<\/em>\u3002
    \nPlease use that pen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Negative verb with \u300c\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u300d<\/h3>\n

    In order to ask to not do something, take the negative of the word, attach \u300c\u3067\u300d, then attach \u300c\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u300d similar to the rule we learned in the last section.<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. \u30dc\u30fc\u30eb\u30da\u30f3\u306f\u4f7f\u308f\u306a\u3044\u3067\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044<\/em>\u3002
      \nPlease don’t use (a) pen.<\/li>\n
    2. \u7740\u66ff\u3048\u4e2d\u3067\u3059\u304b\u3089\u5165\u3089\u306a\u3044\u3067\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044<\/em>\u3002
      \n(I’m) changing so please don’t come in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Casual version of \u300c\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u300d<\/h3>\n

      \u300c\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u300d is a polite expression so in order to say the same thing for casual situation, we can simply drop \u300c\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u300d entirely.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \u3042\u306e\u30da\u30f3\u3092\u4f7f\u3063\u3066<\/em>\u3002
        \nPlease use that pen.<\/li>\n
      2. \u30dc\u30fc\u30eb\u30da\u30f3\u306f\u4f7f\u308f\u306a\u3044\u3067<\/em>\u3002
        \nPlease don’t use (a) pen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Using \u300c\u3061\u3087\u3046\u3060\u3044\u300d for casual requests<\/h2>\n

        \u300c\u3061\u3087\u3046\u3060\u3044\u300d can be used instead of \u300c\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u300d for casual speech. While \u300c\u3061\u3087\u3046\u3060\u3044\u300d can be used by anyone, it does have a slight feminine and childish nuance.<\/p>\n

        Example<\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. \u3042\u306e\u30da\u30f3\u3092\u3061\u3087\u3046\u3060\u3044<\/em>\u3002
          \nGive me that pen.<\/li>\n
        2. \u3042\u306e\u30da\u30f3\u3092\u4f7f\u3063\u3066\u3061\u3087\u3046\u3060\u3044<\/em>\u3002
