How to ask if I can say something in Japanese.
Hi all!

If I wanna know if it's okay / good / correct to say something I learned in Japanese, can I use the following question:

「何何」と言ってもいいですか?

I'm not sure if this pattern sounds like getting permission to say it instead of getting the confirmation that it's correct :)

Thanks in advance!

頑張ってください :)

Answer

Also not a native speaker but もいいですか is indeed asking for permission as in "may I" do something.

Answer

Not a native speaker, but I would say:

何何と言うと正しいですか？
