In this article we chose the use of expressions for making requests as our research theme. The aim was to identify and characterize the way Brazilian niseis living in Brazil communicate in Japanese. When used incorrectly, request expressions can cause friction in the interaction between people of different cultural and social backgrounds. Data was collected through questionnaires filled out by Brazilian niseis, identifying various situations with different egrees of burden imposed on the interlocutor. The results obtained from this were then compared to the models of strategies for how requests are worded in Japanese, in Japan, as presented by Kabaya (1993). The comparison showed that the informants use acceptable strategies for simple requests and make use of unsatisfactory strategies for complex requests.
