How to Say ‘Do you come here often?’ in Traditional Chinese
你常來這裡嗎？
nǐ cháng lái zhè lǐ ma
[nee chang lai juh lee ma]
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: This is a classic flirty line, so use it with a light tone — otherwise it can sound too rehearsed. It works better after some natural back-and-forth than as your very first sentence.
