Find the alphabet reading and see how it's used in the dialogue.
カレンさん、メールアドレスをお願いします。(Karen-san, mēru adoresu o onegai shimasu.) Miss Karen, may I have your email address?
カレンさん、メールアドレスをお願いします。(Karen-san, mēru adoresu o onegai shimasu.)
カレンさん、メールアドレスをお願いします。(Karen-san, mēru adoresu o onegai shimasu.)
私のメールアドレスは[karen@innolang.com](mailto:karen@innolang.com)です。(Watashi no mēru adoresu wa [karen@innolang.com](mailto:karen@innolang.com) desu.) My email address is [karen@innolang.com](mailto:karen@innolang.com).
私のメールアドレスは[karen@innolang.com](mailto:karen@innolang.com)です。(Watashi no mēru adoresu wa [karen@innolang.com](mailto:karen@innolang.com) desu.)
私のメールアドレスは[karen@innolang.com](mailto:karen@innolang.com)です。(Watashi no mēru adoresu wa [karen@innolang.com](mailto:karen@innolang.com) desu.) Now let's look at the sentence pattern.
This pattern will be the structure that all of our dialogues will follow.
リーさん、メールアドレスをお願いします。(Rī-san, mēru adoresu o onegai shimasu.) Mr./
Ms. Lee,
may I have your email address?
リーさん、メールアドレスをお願いします。(Rī-san, mēru adoresu o onegai shimasu.)
リーさん、メールアドレスをお願いします。(Rī-san, mēru adoresu o onegai shimasu.)
私のメールアドレスは [Email address] です。(Watashi no mēru adoresu wa [Email address] desu.) My email address is [Email address].
私のメールアドレスは [Email address] です。(Watashi no mēru adoresu wa [Email address] desu.)
私のメールアドレスは [Email address] です。(Watashi no mēru adoresu wa [Email address] desu.) The possessive particle の (no) is used here to indicate ownership.
In English, の (no) is equivalent to the English 's or of.
お願いします (onegai shimasu) is a polite way of saying please.
This expression is used when you are asking for something.
