Best Way to Ask for More Water?
Hi Everybody,

If I'm at a restaurant and want a refill on water, what is the best way to ask?

Does 麻烦你加一点水 work? How about 劳驾给我倒杯水？ Is there a better way to say it?

谢谢！

谢谢 Eileen!

Answer

we don't use "你" a lot when we are asking for a favor which is different from "would you please...". I suggest that you could use"帮我....可以吗？""请帮我......" when you need  help from the person you are talking to. For example, “帮我加点水可以吗？”

Answer

谢谢 Linda!

Answer

We always use the first sentence‘麻烦你加一点水’in our life，we don't use the second sentence in our life.
