Usage Tip: One is..., The other is...

Today's usage tip is about the word "請問". You might think it just means 'May I ask...?', but it's actually much more than that! It can serve two different purposes:

1. The Attention Grabber: You can use “請問” all by itself at the beginning of a sentence to get someone's attention, just like saying “Excuse me!” in English.
   
2. The Polite Question Starter: If you want to sound extra polite, you can say “不好意思” (Excuse me) first to get their attention. In this case, the “請問” that follows simply becomes a polite way to start your question.
