How to Say ‘I'll get a repairman to fix it.’ in Simplified Chinese
我找师傅来修。
wǒ zhǎo shī fù lái xiū
[waw jaow shīfu lie xiū]
💬 Usage Tip: Chinese strings actions together in the order they happen. First 找 "find", then 来 "come", then 修 "fix". You don't need a word like "to" or "so that" between them.
🇨🇳 In China: In China the landlord usually arranges and pays for repairs like this. Hearing 我找师傅来修 means you don't need to hunt for a plumber yourself.
