this is so interesting to me because chan’s habit to put a request in “question form” most definitely comes from the fact that he’s a bilingual/native english speaker. the polite way to ask smth in korean may sound harsher because in english it’s considered impolite not to “ask”

its truly interesting cause in my language we also put a request in question form as well unless you are someone who dgaf and have no manners whatsoever 😭but yeah i thought this is like common thing

we do the same in my first language! and as someone who’s learning korean currently i have trouble registering that i don’t have to complicate my sentences by expressing them in question form to ask for a favor 😭😭

If you don’t request in question form here they’ll think you’re mannerless

same i get him so bad 😭

I get him so bad, it’s the same where I’m from. If you don’t word your request as a question it comes off as rude

I have this problem too as a British person who speaks Russian (not natively) 😭 Languages with similar or even extra politeness levels like Japanese feels more natural to how I speak. When I speak Russian I never know quite how to phrase questions and requests

My two adopted boys don’t understand why I want them to phrase things as requests instead of demands. In my region, if they keep demanding things instead of asking, they will definitely be considered rude. But it’s a cultural difference and they aren’t trying to be rude.
