How to Say ‘Print a receipt’ in Simplified Chinese
打张发票
dǎ zhāng fā piào
[dǎ jahng fah-pyaow]
💬 Usage Tip: 张 (zhāng) is the counting word for flat things such as receipts, tickets and paper. The 一 is often dropped in speech, so 打张发票 is short for 打一张发票.
🇨🇳 In China: A taxi 发票 (fā piào) shows the plate number, so ask for it. If you leave something in the car or want to file a complaint, it is how you trace the cab.
