How to Say ‘Can I go together next time?’ in Traditional Chinese

下次我可以一起去嗎？

xià cì wǒ kě yǐ yì qǐ qù ma

[shyah tsuh wo kuh-yee yìqǐ qù ma]

💬 Usage Tip: Time words like 下次 go at the start or right after the subject, before the verb, not at the end as in English.

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Asking to join someone's hobby is a gentle, indirect way in Taiwan to suggest a second date.
