How do I say “Can I have ...” in Modern Standard Arabic?
Usually I will just say أعطيني with a questioning intonation but I am not sure if that’s right or even if that’s a little rude. How do I ask for an item politely?

If you want to ask for something politely by using the ver you mentioned, you have to say:

 أعطني من فضلك
