How to Say ‘Then I'll take your drink over first.’ in Traditional Chinese

那我先幫妳把飲料拿過去。

nà wǒ xiān bāng nǐ bǎ yǐn liào ná guò qù

[nah wǒ shyen bahng nǐ bǎ yǐn liào ná guòqù]

💬 Usage Tip: 幫妳 before the action means "for you", or doing it on your behalf. Another example is 幫你點 "order for you".

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Carrying her drink over is a small, gentlemanly gesture. It reads as attentive without being pushy.
