How to Say ‘Should I ask Thomas too?’ in French

Je demande aussi à Thomas ?

zhuh duh-MAHND oh-SEE ah toh-MAH

[zhuh duh-MAHND oh-SEE ah toh-MAH]

💬 Usage Tip: A plain statement becomes an offer just by raising your voice at the end: Je demande ...? means "Shall I ask ...?". Demander à means to ask a person, so you'd say Je demande à Thomas.
