adverb beštašâ
[bɛʃtəʃɑ]* 
please
(polite request)
 Mackilin
Notes
Mackilin rarely say "please", it is considered passive and submissive, akin to groveling. So it's considered perfectly polite to exclude please when asking for someone. The few instances where please would be appropriate would be a child asking their parent for food or a toy.

A child may ask, "mom, may i please have some ice cream?", but if an adult were to ask, "may i please have some ice cream?" it would be considered submissive and leaves the option for the ice cream seller to refuse. Instead a better phrase would be, "i want some ice cream". A polite tone is appreciated but not necessary.
