Kindly is quite formal, whereas please can be used in most situations.
We usually pair it with ‘would’ “(would you kindly… (verb)”
You can also say “would you be so kind as to… (verb)”

'Please'와 'Kindly'는 미국 영어에서 사용되는 단어로, 둘 다 어떤 부탁이나 요청을 할 때 사용됩니다. 그러나 미묘한 차이가 있습니다.
'Please'는 보다 일반적이고 일상적인 표현으로, 상황에 따라서 공손하게 부탁하거나 요청할 때 사용됩니다. 이 단어는 더욱 강조된 공손함이나 예의를 나타내는 데 사용됩니다.
예를 들어,
- Can you please pass me the salt? (소금 좀 주시겠어요?)
- Please, could you help me with this? (부탁드립니다, 이거 좀 도와주실래요?)
한편 'Kindly'는 좀 더 공식적이고 고상한 느낌을 주는 단어로, 주로 서면이나 공식적인 상황에서 사용됩니다. 'Please'보다 더 공손하고 예의 바른 느낌을 주는 표현입니다.
예를 들어,
- Kindly let me know your availability. (가능한 시간을 알려주시기 바랍니다.)
- Would you kindly provide me with the necessary documents? (필요한 서류를 제공해 주시겠어요?)
따라서, 'please'는 일상적인 상황에서 사용되는 보편적인 표현이며, 'kindly'는 좀 더 공손하고 고상한 느낌을 주는 공식적인 표현이라고 할 수 있습니다.

Please:
"Please close the door."
"Can you please send me the report?"
Kindly:
"Kindly close the door when you leave."
"Kindly send me the report by tomorrow."
Key difference: "Kindly" is more formal and often used in professional or polite requests, while "please" is more casual and versatile.
