| Reference | See below |
| Comment | あのうすみません ちょっとよろしい ですか was the spoken comment which was made. In the context in which the expression was made, I guess it means, 'excuse me, can I speak to you for a moment.' However, I cannot find a good reference for the combination of the words as opposed to the individual words.
I thought that I may have found it on your site, but 'make a submission' was displayed. I trust this is helpful. |
