   @srevinsaju @benoit The "ございませんか" part deserves some explanation:

   ご, traditionally written 御, is a honorific prefix to make the word more polite, as in ごはん (rice, meal). With certain words, it's pronounced お, as in お茶 (tea):

   ざ, traditionally written 座, literally means "sit", but combined with 御 it means "to be" or "to exist" in a super polite way:

   います is just the keigo, -masu form of 在, also meaning "to be":
