Asking for things and getting them done in Derja

Requests, arrangements, and making something actually happen.

Sentences for arranging, requesting and following up. The language of getting something organised rather than merely described. This is where politeness levels start to matter.

Derja has two registers of please: من فضلك is the ordinary polite form, and ربّي يخلّيك is warmer and a little pleading, saved for when you actually need the favour. Using the second one for something trivial is a small mistake worth avoiding.
