要不要加LINE?

yào bù yào jiā LINE

[yào bú yào jiā LINE]

💬 Usage Tip: Saying a verb, then 不, then the same verb again makes a casual yes-or-no offer: 要不要喝? "want a drink?"

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: In Taiwan, people swap LINE contacts rather than phone numbers, usually by scanning each other's QR codes. Asking for LINE is the normal way to ask for someone's contact.
