How to say “Please; I'm begging you” in Taiwanese

“Please; I'm begging you” in Taiwanese (Taiwanese Hokkien, Tâi-gí) is 拜託, romanized as Pài-thok in Tâi-lô and Pài-thok in the traditional Pe̍h-ōe-jī spelling. Press play above to hear it, then try saying it yourself.

Stronger than English "please": you are genuinely asking a favor. Drawn out as 拜託咧 (pài-thok-leh) it becomes outright pleading.
