JLPT N4 Keigo basicshumbly receive permission to do
AI draft · under reviewWhy?Help verify
Causative te-form plus いただく frames your own action as a favor the listener allows, making it very humble. It is standard in business announcements and formal requests. Overuse sounds stiff, so reserve it for actions that genuinely involve the listener's permission.
Examples
-
Kyou wa yasumasete itadakimasu.
I will humbly take the day off today.
-
Watashi kara setsumei sasete itadakimasu.
Allow me to give the explanation.
