Meaning
अंग्रेजी में «Would you mind if I» एक विनम्रता से भरा सवाल है जिसका उपयोग हम तब करते हैं जब हम किसी से अनुमति मांगना चाहते हैं। यह वाक्यांश यह जानने के लिए प्रयोग किया जाता है कि क्या किसी को हमारी किसी विशेष क्रिया से कोई आपत्ति होगी। उदाहरण के लिए, अगर आप किसी से पूछना चाहते हैं कि क्या आप उनकी किताब ले सकते हैं, तो आप कह सकते हैं: «Would you mind if I borrow your book?»
इस वाक्यांश का प्रयोग करते समय, यह ध्यान रखना महत्वपूर्ण है कि इसका उत्तर आमतौर पर "No, I don't mind" (मुझे कोई आपत्ति नहीं है) या "Yes, I do mind" (मुझे आपत्ति है) होता है। "No" का अर्थ है कि अनुमति दी जा सकती है, जबकि "Yes" का अर्थ है कि अनुमति नहीं दी जा सकती।
«Would you mind if I» का प्रयोग करके आप बातचीत में विनम्रता और सम्मान दर्शाते हैं, जो विशेष रूप से तब महत्वपूर्ण होता है जब आप किसी से कुछ मांग रहे हों या उनकी अनुमति चाह रहे हों।
