How to Say ‘For here, I think.’ in Traditional Chinese

內用好了。

nèi yòng hǎo le

[nèi yòng hǎo le]

💬 Usage Tip: Adding 好了 to the end of a choice softens it to "I'll go with…". Swap in the other option the same way: 外帶好了 "to go, I think".

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Taiwanese cashiers almost always ask 內用還是外帶? "for here or to go?" early on. 內用 and 外帶 are the standard Taiwan terms for these options.
