Hi Sitha! Yes, it can be rude if you do it aggressively. That is why we learn softening phrases like "Sorry to interrupt" or "Excuse me". It shows respect before you speak. chat

Hello Minea! Saying "I want to talk" sounds a bit too direct and can be seen as aggressive. It is much better to say "Can I add something?" or "Excuse me for a moment". star
