Would you please say more about vs Would you please tell more about

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Would you please say more about' is commonly used when asking someone to provide additional information or details on a topic. On the other hand, 'Would you please tell more about' is less common and may sound a bit awkward. It is better to use 'say' in this context.
