How to Say ‘Received 505 from you’ in Traditional Chinese
收您五百零五
shōu nín wǔ bǎi líng wǔ
[show nin wǔbǎi líng wǔ]
💬 Usage Tip: When a number has an empty place in the middle, you say 零 (líng) "zero" to fill it. That's why 505 is 五百零五 (wǔ bǎi líng wǔ).
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Cashiers say the amount they received out loud, using the polite 您 "you", so both of you can confirm it. This is standard counter politeness, and you don't need to reply.
