Writer's Note
Don't forget that adding "please" and/or "thank you" can make your request more polite. You can ask the same question but the overall tone of the sentence changes when you add a "please" or "thank you". Being polite doesn't cost you anything, in fact you can be upfront and frank but still be polite.
Tip #1:
We all want to speak more like a native speaker. Have you tried blending "get+you" together to make "getcha"? Your sentence would be "What can I getcha?".
我們都希望能夠更像母語者一樣說話。你試過將 "get+you" 混合在一起變成 "getcha" 嗎？你的句子可以是「What can I getcha?」。
Tip #2:
Try replacing "May" instead of "Can" and deliver the request in different ways through better word choices.
Examples:
1. Can I have a glass of water? 👉 May I have a glass of water?
2. Can you turn on the light? 👉 Can you turn on the light, please? Thank you!
3. Can I use your phone? 👉 May I use your phone?
4. Can I borrow your book? 👉 May I borrow your book?
嘗試用 "May" 取代 "Can"，並透過更好的字詞選擇以不同方式提出請求。
範例:
1. Can I have a glass of water? 👉 May I have a glass of water?
2. Can you turn on the light? 👉 Can you turn on the light, please? Thank you!
3. Can I use your phone? 👉 May I use your phone?
4. Can I borrow your book? 👉 May I borrow your book?
Now here are some creative examples using "Can I get you":
1. Can I get you a cozy blanket and a good book for this rainy afternoon?
2. Can I get you something sweet to go with your coffee?
3. Can I get you a better seat with a view of the sunset?
4. Can I get you some quiet time? You look like you need a break.
5. Can I get you a playlist for your mood today?
