How to Say ‘Ten working days’ in Simplified Chinese
十个工作日
shí gè gōng zuò rì
[shí guh gōngzuòrì]
💬 Usage Tip: A number needs a counting word before the noun, so it's 十个工作日 (shí gè gōng zuò rì), not 十工作日. Likewise, 三个人 means "three people".
🇨🇳 In China: Working days skip weekends and public holidays. Over Golden Week or Spring Festival, this wait can stretch to a month.
