How to Say ‘Some are available’ in Japanese
一部空いております
ichibu ai te ori masu
[ichibu ai te ori mas]
💬 Usage Tip: [一部] means "some part" or "a portion," so [一部空いております] means only some are available, not all. [おります] is the polite service-style version of [います] here, making the whole reply more formal.
