How to Say ‘Okay, sorry to trouble you.’ in Traditional Chinese
好，麻煩妳了。
hǎo má fán nǐ le
[how máfan nǐ le]
💬 Usage Tip: 麻煩 means "trouble", but in 麻煩妳了 it works as "thanks for your help". 妳 is the written form of "you" used for a woman, and it sounds the same as 你.
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Thanking staff with 麻煩你/妳了 when they do something for you is very natural in Taiwan. It sounds more gracious than a plain 謝謝 "thanks".
