How to Say ‘It might be better to take that sticker down first.’ in Traditional Chinese

那張貼紙可能先撕掉會比較好喔。

nà zhāng tiē zhǐ kě néng xiān sī diào huì bǐ jiào hǎo ō

[nà jahng tiēzhǐ kuh-nung shyen sīdiào hway bee-jyao how oh]

💬 Usage Tip: 張 (zhāng) is the counting word for flat things like stickers, tickets and paper: 一張票 "one ticket", 兩張紙 "two sheets of paper".

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Stacking 可能, 比較好 and a final 喔 turns a complaint into a gentle suggestion. If a taxi sticker advertises card payment the driver doesn't actually take, this lets you point it out without a confrontation.
