Review Summary

- Verb + kérem / legyen szíves

- Igen / Nem
よくある間違い
You don't need the definite article 'a' when asking generally about existence.
Mixing informal and formal greetings is confusing. Use one or the other.
Polite particles like 'kérem' are requests, not questions, so they don't take the '-e' suffix.
