How to Say ‘I'd like to double-check.’ in Traditional Chinese

想再確認一下

xiǎng zài què rèn yī xià

[shyang dzeye chyweh-ren ee-shyah]

💬 Usage Tip: In 一下, 一 is said (yí), not (yī), because it comes before a falling tone. Adding 一下 after a verb makes the action sound quick and casual, which softens a request.

xiǎng zài

would like to... again

想 (want to) + 再 (again). Both are 3rd/4th tone: xiǎng zài.
