Declining an invitation politely
Taklifni xushmuomala rad etish
Kursdoshingiz Hannah sizni juma kuni kechqurun tug'ilgan kun ziyofatiga taklif qildi. Lekin sizda dushanba kuni muhim topshiriq muddati bor va juma kuni oilangiz bilan video qo'ng'iroq rejalashtirilgan.
Maqsad: Minnatdorchilik bildiring, rad etish sababini qisqa ayting, afsusingizni bildiring va muqobil variant taklif qiling, shunda munosabat buzilmaydi.
Hannah: Hey, it's my birthday on Friday, and I'm having a few people round at mine. You should come!
You: Oh, happy birthday in advance! Thanks so much for inviting me, that's really kind.
Hannah: It'll be really chilled. Just food, music, a few drinks.
You: It sounds great. The thing is, I've got that stats assignment due on Monday, and I'm really behind with it.
Hannah: Oh, come on, just for an hour or two?
You: I'd love to, honestly. But I've also got a video call with my family on Friday evening. It's the only time that works with the time difference.
Hannah: Ah, fair enough. Family comes first.
You: I'm really sorry to miss it. Could we do something next week instead? I'd love to take you out for a birthday coffee or something.
Hannah: Aw, that's sweet. Yeah, let's do that.
You: How about Wednesday after the seminar? My treat.
Hannah: Deal. Good luck with the assignment!
You: Thanks, I'll need it. Have an amazing time on Friday!
Maslahatlar
- Britaniyada "No, I can't" deb qisqa rad etish sovuq eshitiladi. Minnatdorchilik + sabab + afsus + muqobil taklif - eng yaxshi formula.
- Sababni batafsil tushuntirish shart emas. "I've got a lot on this week" ham yetarli va to'liq qabul qilinadi.
- Agar spirtli ichimlik, klub yoki boshqa narsa sizga to'g'ri kelmasa, buni halol va yengil aytish mumkin. Britaniyaliklar buni hurmat qilishadi.
- Muqobil taklif ("Could we do something next week?") rad etish "sizni xohlamayman" emasligini ko'rsatadi.
