That is basically saying like "Mr. or Ms. teacher, are you hot". It is just not correct (At least from how you say it).

As a bengali, we have a similar variation of "you".

Apni = Anata (formal)
Tumi = Kimi (familiarly informal)
Tui = Omae (Rude)

You used "suimasen" vs "sumimasen", why did you remove the "m"? I've totes been pronouncing it with the m. Thank you so much!

I think it is because that it is actually "すみません" , but it is just like English, sometimes people are too lazy to pronounce the "mi", so they just pronounced ”すいません". I don't know if that helped you, cause I used to have that kind of confusion too.

I am wondering whether Keigo or non-keigo is preferred for travelers…In most situations we will not know someone. If I want to sound more authentic then which is better?

instead of writing "wa" with わ, we use は, try looking it up for more info

To elaborate, you use は *when it is a particle* in the way you used わ, but it is still pronounced like wa.

Hello, I asked google translate and it said that "Do you want to eat?" is あなたは食べたいですか, what is this TAI part?

tai form is using to express want in a verb. It is done by changing the verb into te-form.

How can you ask a stranger if something is theirs? E.g. I see someone drop their scarf, what can I say instead of あなたのですか?

Is there a difference between "oneesan" big sister and "oneesan" young lady? Pronunciation maybe?

I've seen a lot of stuff to realise that asking teacher if they're hot can have different meanings depending on the context. Sensei, atsui desu ka ?
