what's the differenece between 'sila' and 'tolong'? As I see it, both means 'please' in English. Could you explain the usages of them? Thanks in advance.

Here's how it was explained to me: Use "tolong" when the request is for your benefit. (ie. tolong=help) Use "sila" when the request is for the listener's benefit.
