<div class='writeup-body'>In casual speech, てください is often shortened to て. This usually comes across as being a friendly way to say 'please do (A)', but may sound like a very soft order, so is best used with friends/toward people of lower status. This nuance of て is usually able to be identified by appearing at the end of a sentence.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>午後（ごご）からお客（きゃく）さんが来（く）るから部屋（へや）を片付（かたづ）けて。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>We have guests coming over during the afternoon so please clean up your room.

This happens most often when the speaker has not actually finished speaking, but is thinking about what they want to say next. In these cases, the pronunciation of て will usually be extended (to highlight that the person is thinking).<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>駅（えき）まで走（はし）っていって...</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>I ran to the station and…</div></li></ul>When emphasizing an apology, て may also be used. For this nuance to be conveyed, て will be attached to the 'reason' that the person is apologizing, and may be either positive or negative.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>約束（やくそく）を守（まも）れなくてすみません。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>I am sorry that I wasn't able to keep my promise.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>タケシのジャケットに水（みず）をこぼしちゃってごめん。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>Takeshi, I am sorry that I spilled water on your jacket.</div></li></ul></div></div>
