How to Say ‘Which one would you like?’ in Traditional Chinese
您要哪一種？
nín yào nǎ yī zhǒng
[neen yào nah yī zhǒng]
💬 Usage Tip: 一 is read (yì) before the falling tone of 種 (zhǒng)? No: 種 is third tone, so 一 becomes (yì): 哪一種 (nǎ yì zhǒng). 種 counts kinds or types, so the phrase means "which kind".
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: 您 is the polite "you". Taiwan café staff use it with customers as standard service courtesy, but you don't need to use it back.
