How to Say ‘It's a little busy’ in Traditional Chinese
有一點忙
yǒu yī diǎn máng
[yǒu yìdiǎn mawng]
💬 Usage Tip: Put 有一點 (yǒu yì diǎn) before an adjective to soften it into "a little…", often for something slightly negative, e.g. 有一點累 "a bit tired". Notice that 一 reads (yì) here because a third-tone word follows it.
