How to Say ‘Are you by yourself?’ in Traditional Chinese
妳一個人嗎？
nǐ yī gè rén ma
[nǐ ee guh rén ma]
💬 Usage Tip: 妳 (nǐ) is the female form of 'you', said exactly like 你 — the difference only shows in writing. 一個人 literally means 'one person', and 一 shifts to (yí) before 個 (gè).
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: In Taiwan, typing 妳 for women is common in texts and on signs; using it shows you noticed who you're talking to.
