Now, just like saying, will you do this for me is a little more direct than would you do this for me in the same way, which is a little less direct and a little more polite.

And as long as you're not irritated, right?

Oh, pass me the salt, would you?

Or pass me the salt, will you?

Yeah, fine.

But if you're if you've asked four times already and then you're like, pass me the salt, would you?

Then it's clearly you're irritated and it's still even would you can sound impolite.

it's casual it's a little like it's not like because there are nicer ways to say this right whoever you say this to is going to assume you're really irritated right yes a bit would you like that would you added it is more impatient like you said more irritated because you could say can you please lower your voice a bit yeah for sure there's different choices of words we could make right for sure yeah

Um, or would you mind waiting a second?

Right.

You could say, can you please wait a second?

You can say, Oh, would you mind waiting a second?

And if you're not irritated and there's no irritation in your tone, that's fine.

Yeah.

Among friends.

It's interesting.

It is extremely informal, right?

In a meeting, instead of saying, you know, hand me that, would you?

You know, or maybe you'd say, could you hand me that, please?

Right?
