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 staff member is speaking too fast.

This is for a speed problem. If you need the same sentence again, use もういちどおねがいします (mou ichido onegaishimasu).

Chunk or pattern

This is a fixed phrase.

Learn it as one smooth line. It is short enough to use even when you feel pressured.

Core words

• ゆっくり: slowly.
• おねがいします: please.

Helper words and endings

おねがいします turns ゆっくり into a polite request.

Practical note

You can say this more than once in the same conversation. Many staff members slow down for one sentence, then speed up again naturally.
