行き方
iki kata
How to get there
💬 [行き方] literally means "way of going." You can reuse this pattern with verbs plus [方] for "how to do something," like [食べ方] for "how to eat" or [使い方] for "how to use."
See breakdown →教えて
oshie te
Please tell me
💬 [教えて] is the [て] form of [教える], and on its own it can sound like a direct "tell me." Add [ください] after a [て] form to make a polite request: [教えてください], [待ってください].
See breakdown →ください
kudasai
Please
💬 [ください] follows a verb in [て] form to make a polite "please ..." request. For example, [見てください] means "please look," and [教えてください] means "please tell me."
See breakdown →教えてください。
oshie te kudasai
Please tell me.
💬 A very common polite request pattern is verb-[て] + [ください]. You can swap in other verbs the same way: [待ってください] "please wait," [書いてください] "please write."

kuukou made
To the airport
💬 [まで] marks the endpoint, so [空港まで] means "as far as the airport" or simply "to the airport." You can use it with places and times too, like [駅まで] or [5時まで].

hai
Yes.
