How to Say ‘Sure’ in Traditional Chinese
好啊
hǎo a
[hao a]
💬 Usage Tip: [啊] often softens the tone or makes it sound more friendly, so [好啊] feels warmer than plain [好]. You'll hear the same effect in [對啊] and [是啊].
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: [好啊] sounds open and friendly, and in this context can feel lightly flirtatious. It's a natural, easy yes in Taiwan.
