How to Say ‘Do you have a black one?’ in Traditional Chinese
有黑色的嗎？
yǒu hēi sè de ma
[yoh hēisè de mah]
💬 Usage Tip: Here 黑色的 means "a black one", so you don't need to name the item. Swap the color to ask for something else: 有白色的嗎？ "Do you have a white one?"
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: This is what you'd say in a Taiwanese shop or night market while pointing at an item. You don't need 你 "you" at the start, and the clerk will understand you perfectly.
