Phrase breakdown and usage notes

Quick use

Use もういちどおねがいします (mou ichido onegaishimasu) when you need the same information repeated.

At a hospital, use it for medicine instructions, next steps, payment instructions, or anything you did not catch clearly.

Chunk or pattern

This is a fixed phrase.

Learn the whole line first. It is more useful as one automatic request than as a grammar pattern.

Core words

  • もういちど: one more time.
  • おねがいします: please / I request it.

Practical note

This asks for repetition. If the speed is the main problem, use ゆっくりおねがいします (yukkuri onegaishimasu) instead.
