Question: Ask your friend politely if s/he would wash your clothes for you..
Hint
1 Use 劳 驾
Hint 2 Use the co-verb 给
Answer 劳 驾, 请 你 给 我 洗 一 下 衣 服 好 吗 ? Listen
Comments Alternatively: 对 不 起 你 能 不 能 给 我 洗 一 下 衣 服
duì bu qǐ, nǐ néng bu néng gěi wǒ xǐ yí xià yīfu?
The colloquial expression 劳 驾
láojià is used in Beijing, but is not
commonly used in southern China. 对 不 起
duì bu qǐ is more widely accepted. The
co-verb clause 给 我
gěi wǒ is placed before 洗
xǐ, the main verb. The expression 一 下
yí xià serves as an action measure, and
also softens the tone of voice. The alternative is a bald choice
type question 你 能 不 能 给 我 洗 衣 服
nǐ néng bu néng gěi wǒ xǐ yīfu,
which sounds very abrupt.
