How to Say ‘The window tables are fully booked on Saturday.’ in Simplified Chinese

周六靠窗的已经订满了。

zhōu liù kào chuāng de yǐ jīng dìng mǎn le

[zhōuliù kào chuang de yǐjīng dìngmǎn le]

💬 Usage Tip: 靠窗的 stands alone as "the window ones" — when the thing is obvious, the noun after 的 can be dropped. Likewise 安静的 "the quiet ones".
