What are the common 謙譲語 verbs that start with 「拝」? I know these ones:

> 見る → 拝見する (to see), 拝観する (to view something -- limited usage)
>
> 聴く → 拝聴する
>
> 読む → 拝読する
>
> 会う → 拝謁する (although I've never heard this used, and know that 目にかかる is more
> common)
>
> 借りる → 拝借する

Are there any others that commonly used?? Actually, I've used **拝読** before
but was later told that no one really uses it, and お読みする was more common.

「拝」から始まる謙譲語 -- humble keigo starting with [hai]
「拝啓」 （はいけい） is also quite common on writing letters.

answer
WOW, I was surprised how much people study formal saying of polite, and I've
NEVER used it. we use 拝 for 拝見 and 拝借 but for others, for example 拝聴, we use
お聞きになる because it's easier to understand.

We don't usually use 拝読, instead we use 拝見.

For example:

"Could I read your letter?" It's actually **read** but we use 拝見 which means
**look**.
