How to Say ‘I'd like to send my luggage to the airport.’ in Japanese
荷物を空港に送りたいんですが。
nimotsu o kuukou ni okuri tai n desu ga
[nee-MOH-tsoo oh KOO-koh ni okuri tie n dess gah]
💬 Usage Tip: Ending with んですが leaves the sentence open, like trailing off with "...but" in English. It softly invites the listener to help without making a direct demand.
