How to Say ‘I'll scan you.’ in Simplified Chinese
我扫你吧。
wǒ sǎo nǐ ba
[waw sow nee ba]
💬 Usage Tip: 吧 at the end turns a statement into a friendly suggestion, so this means "let me scan you". The same works in 我们走吧 "let's go".
🇨🇳 In China: One person shows their WeChat QR code and the other scans it. Offering to do the scanning yourself is a small courtesy that saves the other person effort.
