Is this a polite request? In that case, in English we often add 'please', even if it is not in the original language. Without 'please' it can sounds rather bullying in English |

| | Dear Lein,
You are right, it will be better with "please". |

From ekızılok's comment - just checking: is 'about' better than 'for' or 'to' here? CC: ekızılok Mesud2991 |

| | Yes I too think it's better. |

| LeinNumber of messages: 3389 | Thanks! Rollingmaster, which one do you think is better?
Merdogan, do you agree with kfeto's suggestion? |

| | "Please, say something for your Turkish fans"
Yet, there is not much of a difference, I think.

| LeinNumber of messages: 3389 | Thanks! The difference is that when you say something about B, you tell person A about person B. B will probably not hear this; in any way, he is not the intended listener.
When you say something for B, you say something to B or you say something so that (eventually) B will hear it.
Thanks all, I have edited and evaluated |
