[Liza]

Hi,

Could you tell me if it is correct?: 'May I ask a question from you?'

or I should say: ' May I ask you a question?'

Thanks for your reply.

bye
Liza

Hi Liza,

Your second sentence is correct (May I ask you a question?).

Regards,
Torsten

You can say, "May I ask you a question?"

Very formally, and rarely, we say, "May I ask a question of you?"

But it's not grammatically correct to say you ask a question from someone.
