A2 Expression 正式

می‌شود لطفاً...؟

Mishavad lotfan...?

Would you please...?

意思

A very polite way to make a request or ask for a favor.

🌍

文化背景

In Iran, if you ask for something using 'می‌شود لطفاً', the other person might initially refuse as part of 'Ta'arof'. You should insist a second or third time to show you are serious. In Dari (Afghan Persian), 'می‌شود' is also used, but 'میشه' is less common than 'می‌شه' (pronounced slightly differently). Politeness is equally valued. In Tajik Persian, the structure might use 'می‌توانید' (Metavoned) more frequently, but 'می‌شود' is understood in formal contexts. Second-generation Iranians in the West often use 'می‌شود لطفاً' as a direct translation of 'Can you please', sometimes losing the 'Ta'arof' nuance but keeping the politeness.

💡

The 'Bebakhshid' Opener

Always start with 'Bebakhshid' (Excuse me) before saying 'Mishavad lotfan' to strangers. It's like double-politeness!

⚠️

Don't forget the 'Be-'

The verb that follows MUST have the 'be-' prefix (subjunctive). Without it, you sound like a robot.

The 'Misheh' Shortcut

If you want to sound like a local in a cafe, use 'Misheh' instead of 'Mishavad'. It's the 'cool' way to be polite.

💬

Eye Contact

When saying this, a slight nod of the head and soft eye contact will make your request much more effective in Iran.

Yes, it is the perfect phrase for a student to use with a teacher.

Not exactly. 'Mishavad' means 'Is it possible'. 'Mitavanid' means 'Can you'. 'Mishavad' is usually considered more polite.

You don't *have* to, but without it, 'Mishavad' sounds like a technical question about possibility rather than a request.

Usually 'Baleh, hatman' (Yes, certainly) or 'Khahesh mikonam' (I request/Please).

Yes, 'می‌شود لطفاً بروم؟' means 'May I please go?'.

'Cheshm' literally means 'Eye', but it's a very polite way of saying 'I will do it with my eyes/I obey'.

Absolutely. It's very common in polite WhatsApp or Telegram messages.

The 'Mishavad' part stays the same; only the verb at the end changes to plural (e.g., 'bedahid').

Yes, though in very formal letters, 'خواهشمند است' (it is requested) is more common.

Yes: 'می‌شود لطفاً با آقای احمدی صحبت کنم؟' (Could I please speak with Mr. Ahmadi?)
