How to Say ‘The front of your house’ in Traditional Chinese
你家門口
nǐ jiā mén kǒu
[nǐ jiā mén kǒu]
💬 Usage Tip: 你家 means "your home" with no 的 needed, since close relationships like family and home usually drop it: 我家 "my home", 他媽媽 "his mom". 門口 literally means "door mouth" and covers the doorway or the area right outside it.
