お～ください

The pattern お～ください is a polite/request form used to ask someone to perform an action. It uses the honorific prefix お attached to the verb’s masu-stem, followed by ください. This form is common in customer service, signage, and formal instructions. It’s more distant and formal than casual てください, and is not typically used among close friends or family. It can be used by staff or in polite written notices to tell someone to do something for the listener. Note that not all verbs fit this form naturally; the stem is the verb’s ます-stem (e.g., 待つ → お待ちください, 入る → お入りください).
