How to Say ‘What would you like to drink today?’ in Traditional Chinese
今天想喝點什麼？
jīn tiān xiǎng hē diǎn shén me
[jin tyan shyang hē diǎn shénme]
💬 Usage Tip: 點 here is short for 一點 "a little", which softens the question so it sounds relaxed rather than blunt. Swap the verb to reuse it: 想吃點什麼？ "What would you like to eat?"
