How to Say ‘Should we also order a vegetable dish?’ in Traditional Chinese

yào bù yào zài diǎn yī gè qīng cài

[yào bú yào dzeye diǎn ee guh qīngcài]

💬 Usage Tip: 再 (zài) before the verb means "another" or "one more": 再點一個 is "order one more". 要不要 at the front turns the whole thing into a gentle suggestion.
