How to Say ‘Almond milk probably won't work for me.’ in Traditional Chinese

杏仁奶我可能不行

xìng rén nǎi wǒ kě néng bù xíng

[xìng rén nǎi wo kuh-nung bù xíng]

💬 Usage Tip: The thing being talked about can come first, followed by your comment on it: 咖啡我不喝 "coffee, I don't drink".

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Saying 可能 even when you're sure is the normal soft way to turn down an option in Taiwan. A blunt 我不要 sounds a little curt with staff.
