Let Me Do (〜させてください)

〜させてください

TL;DR

Polite way to ask permission to do something. Combines the causative form with ください to mean 'please let me do.'

— Rudolph Minister, JLPT N1 Certified Instructor · Updated February 2026

Pattern

Verb causative て-form + ください

Explanation

〜させてください is a polite request for permission, meaning 'please let me do ~.' It combines the causative (させる/させる) form with てください. This is commonly used in formal and business situations.

Formation: for ichidan (る) verbs, replace る with させてください (食べる → 食べさせてください); for godan (う) verbs, change the final sound to the あ-row + せてください (行く → 行かせてください, 読む → 読ませてください). The irregular verbs are する → させてください and 来る → 来させてください.

This pattern is very common in business Japanese. Phrases like 考えさせてください (please let me think about it) and 確認させてください (please let me confirm) are used daily in workplaces. It can also express determination: やらせてください (please let me do it / give me a chance).
