list of actions + てくださる


suppose there is a finite list of actions i want someone to do for me. How
would i go about expressing this? (perhaps naively) I would try say something
like:

> 晩御飯を食べてお風呂に入って寝てください

or

> 晩御飯を食べてくださってお風呂に入ってくださって寝てください

What about expressing a finite list of actions that i'd like to try by using
てみたい?




> 「晩御飯{ばんごはん}を食{た}べてお風呂{ふろ}に入{はい}って寝{ね}てください。」

or

> 「晩御飯を食べてくださってお風呂に入ってくださって寝てください。」

As far as grammar, the first sentence wins by a landslide. It is very awkward
to repeat 「～～てくださって」.

Is the first sentence natural-sounding, then? No, it is not; All it is is
grammatical.

「寝てください」 sounds pretty impolite; It sounds almost order-like. It is much
better and more natural to say 「休{やす}んでください」 or 「お休みください」.

「食べて」 is also not too polite. You might want to use 「召{め}し上{あ}がって」 instead.

My point is that you are already using the polite 「ください」 request form. In
doing so, you would need to consider keeping everything within the sentence on
the same politeness level. Thus, without being ridiculously polite, you could
say:

> 「晩御飯を召し上がって、お風呂に入って、お休みください。」

**I would (strongly) recommend that you insert 「から」 or 「それから」 right before
「お休みください」 for a better flow**. Without doing so, you could end up sounding a
little blunt.

> What about expressing a finite list of actions that i'd like to try by using
> てみたい?

Basically, you can use the same sentence structure as your first sentence
above, meaning that you should use 「～～てみたい」 **only once at the end**.

For instance, one could say:

> 「日本{にほん}に行{い}ったら、スシをたくさん食{た}べて、原宿{はらじゅく}で買{か}い物{もの}をして、できれば京都{きょうと}にも行っ
> **てみたい** 。」

The speaker is talking about himself here, so using 「食べる」 is completely fine.
