一刻も早くお越しください
Grammar & Usage
How it works
Combines the emphatic adverbial phrase '一刻も早く' (as soon as possible / without a moment's delay) with the honorific polite request formula 'お越しください'. The component 'お越し' functions as a respectful (sonkeigo) substitute for the verb 来る (to come) prefixed with honorific 'お-'. It is primarily used in business, customer service, or emergency situations to urgently invite or summon someone of equal or higher status.
