How to Say ‘Just coming is enough, you didn't need to bring anything!’ in Traditional Chinese
人來就好，不用帶東西啦！
rén lái jiù hǎo bù yòng dài dōng xī la
[rén lai jyoh haow boo yohng dye dōngxi la]
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: This is the standard polite reply when you hand over a gift. It's ritual modesty, not a real complaint. Smile and insist a little, and the gift will be accepted.
