Abstract
To seek permission, as in ‘May I come in?,’ ‘Is it OK to come in?,’ ‘Do you mind if I come in?,’ or ‘Let me come in,’ Japanese uses a number of expressions. There are also varying degrees of politeness associated with these expressions. The most common and neutral way of seeking permission is to use V-te mo ii desu ka and its stylistic variations.
