Formal:

* Παρακαλώ (parakaló): This is the most common and versatile expression, similar to "please" or "if you please."

* Σας παρακαλώ (sas parakaló): This is the formal version of "parakaló," used when addressing someone with respect.

Informal:

* Σε παρακαλώ (se parakaló): This is a more informal version of "parakaló," used when addressing someone you know well.

* Παρακαλούμε (parakalούμε): This is a more informal version of "parakaló," used when asking a group of people.

Other options:

* Ευχαριστώ (efcharistó): This literally means "thank you," but can be used as a polite way of requesting something.

* Θα μπορούσατε (tha borousate): This means "could you," and is used in a polite way to ask someone to do something.
