Request to speakers of languages other than English, French and German - lemy.lol

Hi thanks for looking at my query. I recently as a joke changed some writing on the board of a friends EAL (English as an Additional Language) classroom from English to German. She liked the idea, but using Google Translate resulted in an overly formal phrasing that made it seem more a demand than a suggestion or polite request. So my ask, if you speak (or I guess write) another language I would love to request you take a moment to translate “Please stack chairs at the end of the day” into whichever language you can help me with, it should be a polite request though. I’m really not sure what the composition of her class is but she is a fan of languages as a whole so even if it’s not a language that is represented in her class I am sure it will be a bit of fun and a talking point to figure it out. If you have the time and the skills to help I really appreciate it, otherwise I appreciate you taking the time to read this post. Have a fantastic day.

Brazilian Portuguese: "Por gentileza, empilhe as cadeiras ao final do dia".

If colloquial or more informal translations are desired:
- "Empilhar as cadeiras não faz cair a mão" (roughly "you won't lose your hands if you take the time to stack the chairs")
- "ô mossss, empilhascadêra fazenofavô?" (A very informal transcription from "Mineiro" (people from the state of Minas Gerais) accent for "Hey girl/boy, [can you] stack the chairs, doing [everyone] a favor [please]?"

Muito obrigado.

I really like your informal suggestions, having some cultural context is awesome!
