How to Say ‘I came today to’ in Simplified Chinese
我今天来
wǒ jīn tiān lái
[waw jeen tyan lie]
💬 Usage Tip: [来] often means "come here for a purpose" in medical or office settings: [我今天来体检] = "I'm here for a checkup," not just "I came today." You can swap in another purpose, like [我今天来复查] for "I'm here for a follow-up today."
