How to Say ‘Then I won't bother you any more.’ in Simplified Chinese

那不打扰您了。

nà bù dǎ rǎo nín le

[nà bù dah raow neen le]

💬 Usage Tip: 不 before the falling tone of 打 is not a sandhi case, since 打 (dǎ) is a third tone, so 不打扰 is read (bù dǎ rǎo). 了 here marks a change of plan: "I'll stop now".

🇨🇳 In China: This is the standard polite exit line when leaving a busy person at an event. It frames your leaving as respect for their time.
