However, if you want a direct formal translation of 'Do I annoy you?', you can say 'La sto infastidendo?' or 'La disturbavo?' is more common."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I see, so 'La sto infastidendo?' is more polite than 'Ti infastidisco?'"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Exactly, 'La sto infastidendo?' is the formal version, and it's more polite because it uses the formal 'you' (Lei) instead of the informal 'you' (tu). So, it's a good idea to use 'La sto infastidendo?' when speaking to someone you don't know well, or to show respect."}]
