Is it a polite way to ask in Hindi? If not, what could I say not to sound inappropriate? Thank you
Just as there are three ways you can say 'you' in Hindi (तू, तुम and आप), there are three corresponding imperative forms for each verb. For example, the imperative forms for the verb देना are दे, दो and दीजिए.
To be polite, you need to use the आप - forms of the imperatives. So, the sentence would be मुझे तेल दीजिए.
