我们AA吧。
wǒ men AA ba
[waw-men ēi ēi ba]
💬 Usage Tip: 吧 (ba) at the end of a sentence turns it into a gentle suggestion, like "let's." For example, 我们走吧 "Let's go."
🇨🇳 In China: AA (splitting the bill) is common among young urban people, but on a first date it can come across as unromantic. Some people still expect one person to treat.
