How to Say ‘This is our sales chart for last month.’ in Simplified Chinese
这是我们上个月的销售图表。
zhè shì wǒ men shàng gè yuè de xiāo shòu tú biǎo
[juh shir waw-men shàng guh yuè duh xiāoshòu túbiǎo]
💬 Usage Tip: Everything describing the chart goes before it and is tied on with 的. So 我们上个月的 comes first, then 销售图表. English puts "for last month" after the noun, but Chinese stacks it in front.
