One more time (please): Mo ichido (kudasai)

Repeat that (please): Mo ichido itte (kudasai)
(itte is pronounced ee-tay)

So the slightly more Americanized transliteration is confusing. The most useful phrase I found was, "Sumimasen." To get people's attention, to get them to move, etc. My Japanese friends often walked too fast for me, causing me to yell out, "Chotto matte!"
