Vてあげる: Use it when you do something for the other person.

例) 今度(こんど)、浅草(あさくさ)に連(つ)れて行(い)ってあげる。

–Next time, I’ll take you to Asakusa.

Vてくれる: Use when someone does something for you.

例) 鈴木(すずき)さんはいつも日本語(にほんご)を教(おし)えてくれる

–Suzuki-san always teaches me Japanese.

例) ノートを見(み)せてくれる?

-Can I see your notes? ( When you make a request to someone in a casual way)

Vてもらう: Use when you ask someone to do something for you

※When asking someone to do something, use a potential verb.

例) ノートを見(み)せてもらえる?

-Can I see your notes? ( When you make a request to someone in a casual way)

Showa-era Japanese:

~てちょんまげ:(,please)

A word derived from “~てちょうだい” (,please). Since the sound “ちょ(cho)” is the same, it was a humorous way to make a request by replacing it with “ちょんまげ”.

ちょんまげ

If you use it with a young person of 2025, it may irritate him or her! If you use it with Showa-born people, they will accept it as a cute gag. The key is to use it with the “sorry” pose.

ゆるしてちょんまげ
