How to Say ‘You're so annoying!’ in Traditional Chinese
你很機車！
nǐ hěn jī chē
[nǐ hěn jīchē]
💬 Usage Tip: In Taiwan, [很] before an adjective often just makes the sentence sound complete, not necessarily 'very.' So [你很機車] is naturally 'You're annoying / such a pain,' and stronger emphasis would need tone or something like [非常].
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: [機車] in Taiwan slang means someone is petty, difficult, or annoyingly fussy, not anything about motorcycles. It's colloquial and common, but still insulting.
