Hello.
Yesterday, one of my colleagues made a joke concerning one of my daily habits. Actually making jokes in my country sometimes is a way of implying that you are doing something that others do not like it.
So, I have tried to ask my colleague if there is any problem. I wanted my colleague to be honest so I asked the following
"Honestly George, Do you have any problem regarding my..."
I think I am using Honestly (at the beginning of the sentence) in a way that is ok in my country but not in English. Could you please help me ask the same question using honest-ly in a more British-appropriate way?
Best Regards
Alex.
