Cultural Insight: Politeness in Japanese Questions

In Japanese, it is important to show respect and politeness when asking questions. Use です (desu) at the end of a sentence to make it more formal. For example, instead of saying “何ですか (nani desu ka)”, you can say “何ですか か (nani desu ka)”. This small addition can make a big difference in your interactions!
