How to Say ‘What would you like to drink?’ in Traditional Chinese
想喝什麼？
xiǎng hē shén me
[shyang hē shénme]
💬 Usage Tip: 什麼 (shén me) sits where the answer would go, so the word order stays the same as a statement: 想喝啤酒 "want to drink beer" becomes 想喝什麼？. Swap the verb for 想吃什麼？ "What do you want to eat?"
