May I sit here?

May I sit here?

I'm wondering about the may, and I think it's "¿Te importa si me siento aquí?". What if I said "Está bien si me siento aquí" or "Qué tal si me siento aquí" or "está abiero este asiento" or "Alguien está usando este asiento / silla" do they all work? Gracias

They are all correct, except for .."si me siento así". I think you meant "aquí".. I agree with Cogumela's comment, though. - Gekkosan, Sep 26, 2010

¿Puedo sentarme aquí?

¿Te importa si me siento?

¿Está libre este asiento?

Oh hadn't thought about libre, good one. Are mine all right? Gracias. - jeezzle, Sep 26, 2010
Pretty good, specially the first and the last one. The others so-so, a bit foreign. - cogumela, Sep 26, 2010

"Qué tal si me siento así

"What if I sit like this?"

I expect you meant "¿qué tal si me siento aquí?

Still, this could be taken as a challenge, rather than an attempt to be polite: "what if I sit here"? "What about me sitting here"? I wouldn't recommend using this one.
