Thought and Wondered / Asking Politely
5/21“Ayúdame” o “Me pregunto si puedes ayudarme”, ¿cuál expresión crees que es más educada? En entornos formales y profesionales es más conveniente expresarte de manera indirecta hacia otra persona para no sonar prepotente.
Preguntas educadas y formales en inglés
Utilizando palabras que ya conocemos como “Thought” o “Wondered”, puedes construir preguntas indirectas, hacer una cordial sugerencia o pedirle algo a alguien de la mejor manera.
Tabla con peticiones directas e indirectas en inglés
| Forma directa | Forma indirecta y educada |
|---|---|
| Help me! please! | I thought you could give me a hand with this. |
| Give me the password, please! | I was wondering if you could give me the password. |
| Can you cook dinner tonight? | I thought you might cook dinner tonight. |
| Finish that design before you leave. | I was wondering if you could finish that design before you left. |
Como verás, en determinadas situaciones sociales no es suficiente la palabra “please” para expresarte de forma cordial. Puedes mejorar tus expresiones amables o formales sin necesidad de utilizar preguntas; en su lugar, transmitiendo tus pensamientos de forma educada.
