Notes -아/어 주세요 expresses a polite request to perform an action and corresponds to 'please [do] ... [for me/someone]' in English. Here, the polite imperative ending -(으)세요 is preceded by the benefactive aspect -아/어 주-. The latter denotes an action performed for the sake of the speaker or someone else different from the hearer. The beneficiary can be marked with -에게/한테 or -을/를 위해.

In imperative sentences with -아/어 주세요, the verb is often preceded by 좀 meaning 'please'. The inclusion of 좀 softens up the request.
