How to Say ‘It happens to be sold out today’ in Traditional Chinese

今天剛好賣完了

jīn tiān gāng hǎo mài wán le

[jin tyan gānghǎo màiwán le]

💬 Usage Tip: 賣完 means "sell" plus "finished", so sold out. You can attach 完 to other verbs too: 吃完 "finish eating". 剛好 adds "as it happens", which softens the bad news.
