Quick use

Use もういちどおねがいします (mou ichido onegai shimasu) in many everyday situations when you need the other person to repeat or slow down. Use it when you need the same information repeated clearly.

Chunk or pattern

  • This is a fixed phrase.
  • Learn the whole line first instead of rebuilding it word by word.
  • Once it feels automatic, it becomes much easier to use under pressure.

Helper words and endings

  • おねがいします: polite request ending. In practice, learn it as "please."

Practical note

Asking once more is much safer than pretending you understood instructions or medicine details.
