When asking for directions, using "bitte" makes your request more polite and respectful. For example, you can say "Könnten Sie mir bitte sagen, wo der Bahnhof ist?" which means "Could you please tell me where the train station is?" Adding "bitte" signals that you are being polite and respectful, which increases the chances of getting a helpful response. Germans appreciate politeness, especially from tourists and foreign speakers, so learning how to use please in German correctly when asking for help can improve your interactions with locals. |
