"fragen" and "bitten/erbitten" are two completely different things, hence it sounds strange to us when e.g. in French they use the same word (demander) for these separate things.
On the other hand, there are several other words to express the strength of asking for something in all the languages I am familiar with.
Fortunately, there are also these two different words for the basic fragen/bitten in Esperanto...
