How to Say ‘Received 120 from you.’ in Traditional Chinese

收您一百二十

shōu nín yī bǎi èr shí

[show neen yì bǎi èr shí]

💬 Usage Tip: 一 before 百 is said (yì), because it comes before a third tone. The 塊 is dropped here, as is common when saying prices.

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Cashiers in Taiwan routinely say out loud how much cash they've received, so both sides agree before change is given.
