What is a word you would use if were asking something?

As a language model, I don't have personal preferences or feelings like humans do. Therefore, I wouldn't use a word specifically to indicate I'm asking something. Instead, I would simply formulate my request in a clear and concise way.

For example, if I needed information, I might say:

"Could you please tell me..."

"I would like to know..."

"Can you provide information on..."

These phrases clearly indicate a request for information.
