Requesting someone to raise their voice for better audibility.
Cultural Background
Politeness is key. Always use '주세요' or '시겠어요' to avoid sounding rude. Similar to Korea, indirectness is valued. 'もう少し' (a little more) is used similarly to '좀 더'. Directness is often preferred. 'Could you speak up?' is standard. Formal 'vous' is essential when asking strangers to change behavior.
Use '말씀' for respect
Using '말씀' instead of '말' instantly makes you sound more polite and educated.
