How to Say ‘I know.’ in Traditional Chinese
我知道。
wǒ zhī dào
[waw jir-dao]
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: [我知道。] can calm things down if said with a gentle tone: you're acknowledging the driver's explanation without fully agreeing. In a dispute, it often means "I understand what you're saying" rather than "I accept it."
