Bonvolu with the i form bonvolu veni
and using mi petas with the u form mi petas diru
When I was doing one of the lessons it translated mi petas to please but using the vortaro it came out as I request so I want to know which one is better to use as please.
From the dict.
bonvolu (please; bonvolu veni = please come); mi petas (lit. "I request")

'Mi petas' means 'I ask you to', not 'request' (Russian 'я прошу (Вас)' ) and can also be translated 'please'.
