Why does the answer conjugate like this? はいしゃくしても
And why no honorific o- prefix is used?
This is not covered in the lesson and I’ve made the same mistake twice now. And the lesson itself is about itasu, which I don’t think is being used here?
Thanks.
It is, you might’ve just overlooked it:
Caution
Words that include the kanji 拝 ‘to worship’, or ‘to revere’, do not usually require お, ご, or いたす. This is due to the word itself being ‘respectful’.
Basically, it’s an example to avoid ‘double keigo’. See this past thread: A question about the いたす grammar point
Ah, I totally missed the kanji. So when it’s there, I just use good old suru. Got it, thanks!
