When you canât make UP your mind.
Sorry, weâRE still looking.
Sorry, could you give us another minute?
Sorry, could you give us a minute?
Sorry, could you give us another minute, please?
Sorry, could we have another minute, please?
Sorry, weâre not quite ready.Could we have another minute?
These all mean the same thing. When youâre in a restaurant and the waiter/waitress asks if youâre ready to order, and you havenât decided yet, these are all good examples to use.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question

Is this at a restaurant? If so, all of them are basically the same. In the US, and especially in the south, Iâd recommend saying âpleaseâ after the second two. Also, saying âmayâ instead of âcouldâ is more polite. The last one, particularly with the word âcouldâ, sounds rude to me. But as long as your tone is friendly, all of these would be fine.
