How to Say ‘Here's your change’ in Traditional Chinese

找你

zhǎo nǐ

[zhǎo nǐ]

💬 Usage Tip: 找 (zhǎo) usually means "to look for," but when money changes hands it means "to give back change": 找你一百九十五元 says exactly how much is coming back. In speech, 找你 sounds like (zháo nǐ), because two third tones in a row turn the first one into a rising tone.

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Tipping taxi drivers isn't expected in Taiwan, so drivers normally hand back exact change. If you want to round up, say 不用找了 (bú yòng zhǎo le) "keep the change." If the amount seems off, count it right there before getting out.
