"Whenever you get a chance..." "When you have a moment..." "No rush on this."
Normal
"Could you take a look at this today?" "I was hoping to get this done by tomorrow."
Urgent
"This is fairly urgent — can you take a look ASAP?" "Urgent: we need a fix before the demo at 3pm." "Time-sensitive: deploy window closes in 2 hours."
Blocker
"This is blocking me — I can't proceed until this is resolved." "I'm completely blocked on X. Need help urgently." "This is a blocker for the entire team."
Would you mind...? の完全ガイド
"Would you mind?" は文法的に「嫌ですか？」と聞いているため、返答が逆になる。了承 = "Not at all." / "Happy to!" （"Yes"は「はい、嫌です」になるので断りの返事にNOT使う）
了承（嫌じゃないよ = やりますよ）
Not at all. / Not at all, happy to.
Of course! Sending feedback now.
Sure, no problem.
Happy to!
断る（理由 + 代替案）
I'm afraid I can't right now — I'm in the middle of a deploy.
I'm a bit tied up today, but I can take a look tomorrow.
I'm swamped this week — could you ask @alice instead?
