What does PLEASE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To give someone satisfaction, enjoyment, or pleasure, or to be willing or wish to do something.
To please someone is to make that person feel glad or satisfied, whether by a gift, an action, or simply good news, and the same verb also describes a personal wish, as in do as you please. English speakers also lean on the shorter please as a polite word attached to a request, which grew out of the older phrase if it please you, meaning if it is agreeable to you. Because the polite use is so frequent, many people meet please daily without ever using its fuller verb sense.
How PLEASE is used
Extremely common both as the ordinary verb for giving satisfaction and as the everyday word added to a polite request.
- Nothing she did seemed to please her strict grandfather.
- Please pass the salt when you get a chance.
- He stayed late only to please his employer.
- Sit down, please, and make yourself comfortable.
- Do as you please once the chores are finished.
