How to Say ‘Then we'll do it your way.’ in Simplified Chinese

那就听您的

nà jiù tīng nín de

[nà jyoh tīng neen duh]

💬 Usage Tip: 听 (tīng) means "listen," so 听您的 is literally "listen to yours," meaning "go with what you say." 听你的 is the casual version.

🇨🇳 In China: Saying this ends the disagreement gracefully. It hands the decision, and the responsibility for it, to the other person.
