How to Say ‘I'm a bit lactose intolerant.’ in Traditional Chinese
我有點乳糖不耐。
wǒ yǒu diǎn rǔ táng bù nài
[waw yoh dyehn roo tahng boo nai]
💬 Usage Tip: [有點] softens the statement and means 'a bit,' so this sounds less abrupt than a flat medical declaration. The same pattern works for many conditions: [我有點過敏] or [我有點不舒服].
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: For a real allergy or serious intolerance, locals often say it more clearly and directly than this, for example [我不能喝牛奶] or [我對牛奶過敏]. [我有點乳糖不耐] sounds softer and more casual.
