How do you say "Could you speak more slowly?" in Japanese?

Quick use

Use ゆっくりおねがいします (yukkuri onegaishimasu) when the other person is speaking too fast.

It is especially useful when you understand some Japanese, but the speed makes the hospital explanation hard to follow.

Chunk or pattern

This is a fixed phrase.

Learn the whole line first. It is a practical request you can use immediately.

Core words

• ゆっくり: slowly.
• おねがいします: please / I request it.

Practical note

This asks them to slow down. If you need the same sentence again, use もういちどおねがいします (mou ichido onegaishimasu).
