Bedeutung
A polite request to say something again.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In formal settings, elders are addressed with 'aap'. Using 'kripya' is a sign of respect. In modern offices, Hinglish is common, but 'kripya' remains the gold standard for emails and formal presentations. Students are expected to use this phrase when they miss a lecture point to show engagement.
Use with 'Kya'
Add 'Kya' at the start to make it a question: 'Kya aap kripya ise dohra sakte hain?'
Tone matters
Keep your tone soft. A harsh tone makes 'please' sound sarcastic.
