In Chinese high-stakes or historical contexts, extreme formality is often used by the dominant party to mask coercion, making the threat more chilling through its surface civility.

LEARNING CHUNKS & PARTICLES

2 CHUNKS · 0 PARTICLES
请务必 SPOKEN CHUNK

please be sure to; by all means

Used in formal contexts to strongly emphasize a request; in tense situations, it functions as a polite-sounding command.

适应一下 SPOKEN CHUNK

get used to; adapt a bit

Adding the softening suffix makes a difficult adjustment sound minor, which can sound ironic or patronizing when used by an authority figure.
