How do you say "Could you say that one more time?" in Japanese?

Quick use

Use もういちどおねがいします (mou ichido onegaishimasu) when a staff member explains something and you need to hear the same information again.

It is especially useful for document names, counter numbers, deadlines, and next steps.

Chunk or pattern

This is a fixed phrase.

Learn the whole line first. You do not need to break it down at the beginning.

Core words

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

Helper words and endings

おねがいします makes this a polite request. In practice, the full line works like “One more time, please.”

Practical note

At a public office, misunderstanding one instruction can send you to the wrong counter or make you fill in the wrong part of a form. Asking once more is safer than pretending you understood.
