Is it okay if I borrow your pen?
This page contains the Japanese phrase: Can I use your pen for a moment.
The pen is mightier than the sword, or so they say. My wife orders stuff online all the time so we’re always getting stuff delivered through takkyubin – 宅急便 – express parcel service. I’m constantly using this phrase because I can’t be bothered to track down my inkan (personal seal – 印鑑.)
