N を くださいます (N o kudasaimasu) — A higher person gives something to me
A boss or a teacher gave something to me — the respectful version of くれます.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
Meaning
- 「くださいます」says that a higher person gave something to me (or to my family or my team).
- The direction is always "from another person toward me", so never use it for something I gave.
- The everyday 「〜て ください」comes from this same くださる.
How to attach
- The giver is marked with が or は, I am 私に (usually dropped), and the thing given takes を.
- The base verb is くださる, but its ます form is not ×くださります — it is ○くださいます, and the past is くださいました.
