I took French in high school. And my father was three-quarters French. So it is a language that has always been near and dear to my heart. But one thing that they didn't cover in French class. How do you say 'please, please, please!' in French, that is, like you are pleading with someone? I know 'please' is translated as 'Si vous plait', no? But 'Si vous plait, Si vous plait, Si vous plait!' just sounds too cumbersome. So it couldn't be that. Am I wrong?
It sounds cumbersome indeed. I think this is one of the scenarios where simple translation doesn't cut it. Yes, "please ×3" translates to SVP×3, but that's because no french person would ever think or say "please" thrice in a row like an english speaker would. (Again, because it is so cumbersome)
