Is this an acceptable (or polite) way to ask for an apple?

[deactivated user]

Yes, it is.

[Nuept]

I'd add that if you ask one person like that then it's very polite because you use the "respectful" form of the verb so to say.

[haimerdinger]

what is the diffrence between меня and мне ?

[deactivated user]

• Меня is the accusative case, used for direct objects.
• Мне is dative case, used for indirect objects.

The exact meaning depends on the verb, but generally direct object is more strongly affected by the action than the indirect object. With «дай», the thing given (я́блоко) is the direct object, and the receiver (мне) is the indirect object.

Whats the difference between
"Дайте яблоко, пажалуиста" and "Дайте мне яблоко, пажалуиста"??

[TedinRaqis]

I think it is like this: A: Give an apple, please. And B: Give me an apple, please.

[Chiffewar]

Which of these are acceptable?
Дайте мне, пожалуйста, яблоко.
Пожалуйста, дайте мне яблоко.
Дайте яблоко, пожалуйста.

[deactivated user]

All of them are used in Russian (although the second one sounds a bit less natural than the 1st and the 3rd).

[Natalia302555]

All of them are good.

[ginger_aleeeee]

What verb form is дайте?

[SuperMKi]

дать

[Marty97211]

Isn't the "мне" optional here?

[PeteGeisle]

Дайте или дай ? Why not Дай?

[AhmedSalh5]

Дайте is a respectable form for unknown persons дай is more friendly as I know and there are two types of every verb in this case

[AmEm68]

Why is "Give the apple to me, please" incorrect?

[Darkwisp]

Report it!

[NickPoulsen]

So why is the "please" moved around a lot, either before or after the subject?

[Natalia302555]

Structure of a sentence is very flexible in Russian.
