Please or If you please.

The phrase 's'il vous plaît' means please, if you please, if it pleases you. In the word-by-word translation, the conjunction 'si'* means 'if'. The personal pronoun 'il' means 'he/it'. The personal pronoun 'vous' means 'you'. The verb 'plaît' means '[he/she/it] pleases'.
it means 'please' but in a literal translation it means 'if you please': "si" means if, "vous" means you in the polite form (so it is possible to say si'l tu plait if talking to friends) and plait (with the hat on the i) means please. hope you found this useful : )
