How to Say ‘It smells really nice at your door.’ in Traditional Chinese
你家門口好香喔。
nǐ jiā mén kǒu hǎo xiāng ō
[nǐ jiā ménkǒu hǎo xiāng oh]
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: The 喔 at the end softens the remark and makes it sound warm and chatty. This is very typical of Taiwanese speech, and commenting on a neighbor's door herbs like this is a friendly way to start a conversation.
