How to Say ‘You’ in Traditional Chinese
您

[nín]
💬 Usage Tip: 您 is the polite version of 你. In networking or first meetings, start with 您; you can reuse it in phrases like 謝謝您 or 請問您怎麼稱呼？.
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Using 您 is the safe choice with recruiters, professors, clients, or new contacts in Taiwan. Switching to 你 too early can sound overly casual.
