معنی
To inquire about something to gain knowledge.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Bonjour' rule is absolute. Asking for a 'renseignement' without a greeting is seen as treating the person like a machine. In Quebec, 'demander une information' is slightly more common in casual speech than in France, but 'renseignement' remains the formal standard. Belgians might use 's'il vous plaît' at the beginning of the sentence more often than the French when asking for info. Swiss French is very similar to France in this regard, but the tone might be even more formal and soft-spoken.
The 'Petit' Trick
Adding 'petit' (small) before 'renseignement' makes you sound more native and less intrusive. 'Un petit renseignement'.
No 'Pour'!
Never say 'demander pour'. It's the most common English-speaker mistake.
