In a sentence

もうmoreちょっとa littleゆっくりslowlyおねがいお願いplease

A little more slowly, please

How it works

Three modifiers stack up before the request. もう (more) and ちょっと (a little) team up to mean “a little bit more,” and they describe ゆっくり (slowly). That whole chunk leans on お願いおねがい (please), a noun used as a soft, casual “please (do this).” There’s no verb spoken — the action (“go / speak slower”) is left to context.
