Is it OK when I say "I have a little request from you"? Is it commonly used?


Solution 1:

I'm assuming you mean “a little request for you”, because it otherwise doesn't make much sense.

It is understandable, though quite informal. If I want to answer positively, I would typically reply “Yes, what do you want me to do?” or, if the context is more formal, “I'd be happy to help. What can I do?”.

Solution 2:

"Can I ask a small favor of you?" Is a more commonly used phrase, that expresses the same meaning as a request.
