How to Say ‘A bottle of beer, please.’ in Simplified Chinese
来一瓶啤酒。
lái yī píng pí jiǔ
[lái yi ping pee-jyo]
💬 Usage Tip: 瓶 (píng) is the counting word for bottles, and it slots into the same ordering pattern: 来两瓶水 (lái liǎng píng shuǐ) "two bottles of water". 一 is read (yì) here because it comes before a rising tone.
