请确认一下 (qǐng quèrèn yíxià) is a polite way to ask someone to confirm something, often used as a gentle reminder or a request for verification of a pending item.
What does 请确认一下 (qǐng quèrèn yīxià) mean?
请确认一下 (qǐng quèrèn yīxià) means “please confirm” in English. Word for word, it breaks down as “please confirm a bit.”
When to use it
Neutral and polite. It's commonly used in business communications or when making a request. For a more direct or urgent request, you can omit “一下” and just say 请确认 (qǐng quèrèn).
How to pronounce it
Sounds like “ching CHWEH-run ee-SHYAH.” The “一下” softens the request, making it less direct.
Other ways to say it
