How to Say ‘Want to move to a quieter seat inside?’ in Traditional Chinese

要不要換到裡面比較安靜的位子？

yào bù yào huàn dào lǐ miàn bǐ jiào ān jìng de wèi zi

[yào bú yào huàndào lǐ miàn bee-jyao ān jìng duh way dz]

💬 Usage Tip: 要不要 + action? is the easy way to make a suggestion: "want to…?". Try 要不要喝一杯？ "want to grab a drink?"

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Framing the move as an offer gives her an easy out. That keeps the suggestion low-pressure, which is how it's usually done in Taiwan.
