How smart people say 'do me a favor'
To ask for a favor politely, make it a question. "Could you do me a favor?" works with friends and coworkers, and "Would you mind helping me?" sounds softer. For a bigger request, add "if it's not too much trouble" after it. "Do me a favor" on its own can sound like an order, so save it for close friends.

Could you do me a favor? Tom: Friendly and casual
Use it with friends, family and coworkers before you explain what you need. With a boss or a stranger, a softer line like "Would you mind...?" is usually safer.
“Could you do me a favor”
-
Would you mind helping me down? Tom: Polite and soft
Use "Would you mind" plus a verb with -ing for a polite request to almost anyone. Here, mind means "is it a problem for you?", so "No, not at all" means yes, I'll help.
“Would you mind helping me down?”
-
If it's not too much trouble. Tom: Extra polite, careful
Add it after a bigger request, when you know you are asking for time or effort. Don't use it for tiny things like passing the salt, because it can sound too formal or even sarcastic.
“If it's not too much trouble?”
-
Can I ask you a favor? Tom: Friendly, gives a warning
Use it to prepare the other person before you ask. It gives them a moment to say "Sure" first. It is fine at work and with friends.
-
Could you give me a hand? Tom: Casual and warm
Use it when you need physical help or quick practical help, like carrying, moving or fixing something. It is less natural for big favors like lending money.
-
Do you have a minute? Tom: Polite, checks timing
Use it before a request when the other person looks busy. It asks about their time first. Don't use it if your request will clearly take an hour.

Would you mind to help me?Uma forma melhor Would you mind helping me?

Não fica bem assim
A: Would you mind helping me? B: Yes, of course! (meaning "I'll help")Uma forma melhor A: Would you mind helping me? B: No, not at all.
Mind means "is it a problem?" A strict "Yes" means it is a problem. Many speakers say "Of course" or "Sure" too, but "No, not at all" is the clearest yes.

Do me a favor. Send me the file. (to your manager)Uma forma melhor Could you send me the file, please?
"Do me a favor" without a question sounds like an order. With people you don't know well, ask a question instead.
