A natural way to say: can you speak more slowly please? 大家好！ If I'm talking to a Chinese friend, how should I say this: "Can you speak more slowly, please?" Some things I found on the internet: 1) 请你慢一点说？ 2) 请说慢点 3) 请说慢一点 4) 请慢点 5) 你可以慢慢说吗？ 6) 你可以说慢一点吗？ 7) 你可以说得慢一点吗？ Could you please explain the differences between them (context, meaning) and recommend a natural/native/authentic way of saying that to a young friend?

I would say: (請你)說慢一點好嗎？ Speak more slowly, please? 1) 请你慢一点说？ (x) May you tell me later? 2) 请说慢点 (o) May you speak more slowly? 3) 请说慢一点 (o) May you speak more slowly? 4) 请慢点 (x) Please slow down. 5) 你可以慢慢说吗？ (x) Can you speak slowly? 6) 你可以说慢一点吗？ (o) Can you speak more slowly? 7) 你可以说得慢一点吗？ (o) Can you speak more slowly?

(1)-(4)sound weird ,or way too formal for a conversation between friends .(6) and (7) sound natural and are most commonly used.well,unlike in English,in Chinese we hardly say 请 in an informal talk.

Hi, I am from Taiwan. I would prefer to put "可以請你/妳說慢一點嗎？” when I talk to a friend or even a stranger. Feel free to discuss any question with me in person :)

中国人口语基本不说“请”，太做作了， standare: “ 你说慢点 ” “我听不懂，你说慢点”
