眼鏡をお持ちしますね。どちらに置かれていましたか？ — I'll get your glasses for you. Where did you put them? (Care · Daily · Support, Formal to Senior, JLPT N4)

Gesture & etiquette

Begin searching immediately as you ask the question — your action shows you take the need seriously. Check predictable locations first (beside table, near bed, in bathroom) without drawing attention to the search. When found, bring them with both hands and a warm smile. Suggest a consistent storage spot: 'Koko ni okeba itsumo sugu mitsukari masu yo' (If we keep them here, you'll always find them quickly).

Helping locate personal items like glasses requires a patient, matter-of-fact approach — never showing frustration or impatience. Asking 'where did you put them?' rather than 'where did you leave them?' is a subtle but important dignity-preserving language choice; 'put' suggests intentional placement while 'leave' can imply forgetfulness. Establishing a regular glasses placement spot is a good prevention strategy.
