・助けてもらえますか？（tasukete moraemasu ka?）
・手伝ってもらえますか？（tetsudatte moraemasu ka?）
・ちょっといいですか？（chotto ii desu ka?）
When asking for help in Japanese, a common and polite way to say it is “助けてもらえますか？” or “手伝ってもらえますか？”. Both of these are polite requests, but there’s a slight nuance between them. “助ける (tasukeru) ” implies general help, often in a more urgent or serious situation, while “手伝う (tetsudau” is more about assisting with tasks or work, like helping with chores. Meanwhile, “ちょっといいですか？” is a very casual way to grab someone’s attention before asking for help—it’s more indirect but commonly used in everyday situations.
