You can ask for things politely in Finnish but you can't translate that into English.
Instead of adding superfluous words like "please" to the end of the sentence, in Finnish you conjugate the verb of the sentence to a "polite form" to indicate the intent. There's a dozen different forms to use, e.g. "imperative" to indicate that something must be done or "potential" to indicate that something might probably happen.
