How to Say ‘Thank you for your time today.’ in Traditional Chinese

謝謝您今天的時間。

xiè xiè nín jīn tiān de shí jiān

[shyeh-shyeh nín jin tyan de shíjiān]

💬 Usage Tip: 今天的時間 uses 的 to tie a time word to a noun: "today's time". Thanks in Chinese can name the thing directly after 謝謝您, with no "for".

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Thanking the interviewer for their time with 您 is a polished, expected closing in Taiwan and leaves a respectful last impression.
