WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“I really need a favor, but I feel so awkward and embarrassed to ask.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Fear of Causing Trouble (Mafan)

In Chinese social interaction, burdening others causes psychological debt; framing requests with 'mafan' signals awareness of this imposition and shows deferential respect.
