How to Say ‘What time would you like?’ in Traditional Chinese
你想約幾點呢？
nǐ xiǎng yuē jǐ diǎn ne
[nee shyang yweh jee dyen nuh]
💬 Usage Tip: [約] here means "set a time / arrange to meet," and [幾點] means "what time." The ending [呢] softens the question, making it sound more conversational than a blunt [你想約幾點？]
