I am wondered

Question

HiI am still confused about this, I know that if you have a request and want to tell it in polite way you can use it like 'I am wondered if you could advise me about this matter' ... but I also heard many people saying that during their conversation but there is no request... they say 'I wondered why...', 'I just wondered...'what is the difference between these phrases and also how phrases like I am wondered, I was wondered and I am wondering are different?Thank you so much

Mnrz57you can use it like 'I am wondered if you could advise me about this matter' ...

No. You are mistaken. It's I wonder if ..., not I am wondered if .... Neither is there any I was wondered.

Mnrz57I also heard many people saying that during their conversation but there is no request...

There is nothing special about the verb wonder that says it must only be used in requests. You can use it in other situations. I just wondered or I was just wondering minimizes the importance of a given matter while expressing a mild sense of curiosity about it.

Thanks Jim,

So ... I wonder if ... is a polite way to ask a question? Am I right?

I heard many phrases that says "I was wonderring if you could...." what does it xactly mean?

I am wondered
