How to Say ‘About 300 or so’ in Traditional Chinese
差不多三百左右
chà bù duō sān bǎi zuǒ yòu
[chàbuduō sānbǎi zuǒyòu]
💬 Usage Tip: 差不多 goes before the number and 左右 (zuǒ yòu) goes after it, and both mean "about". Stacking them is redundant but very natural in speech, for example 差不多十分鐘左右 "about ten minutes or so".
