意味
To pose an inquiry to get information.
文化的背景
In the US, asking questions is seen as being 'proactive' and 'engaged' in the workplace. In Japan, asking questions in a large group might be avoided to prevent 'losing face' or interrupting the harmony. British speakers often use 'I have a quick question' to soften the interruption.
Be direct
Don't overcomplicate it. 'Can I ask a question?' is perfect.
Avoid 'make'
Never say 'make a question'. It is the most common mistake.
