"пожалуйста" meaning in Russian

See пожалуйста in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Interjection

IPA: [pɐˈʐaɫʊstə], [pɐˈʐaɫ(ə)stə], [pɐˈʐaɫʊjstə] Audio: Пожалуста.wav , Пожалста.wav , Ru-пожалуйста.ogg Forms: пожа́луйста [canonical], požálujsta [romanization]
Etymology: Lexicalization of пожа́луй (požáluj) + -ста (-sta), an obsolete clitic that was used to add emphasis and to signify politeness, of obscure origin. The clitic is no longer used or known to most speakers, even as passive vocabulary, and has essentially disappeared from the language. Accordingly, to modern speakers, the ending of the word пожалуйста is merely a sequence of sounds of indeterminate meaning. The letter й, despite still being used in the spelling, was dropped from the pronunciation. Head templates: {{head|ru|interjection|head=пожа́луйста}} пожа́луйста • (požálujsta)
