How to Say ‘Parking spaces are rather limited’ in Simplified Chinese
车位比较紧张
chē wèi bǐ jiào jǐn zhāng
[chēwèi bǐjiào jǐnzhāng]
💬 Usage Tip: 紧张 (jǐnzhāng) usually means "nervous", but with spaces, tickets or supplies it means "in short supply": 票很紧张 "tickets are scarce". 比较 here softens it to "fairly" rather than making a comparison.
