How to Say ‘May I ask which day?’ in Traditional Chinese
請問哪一天？
qǐng wèn nǎ yī tiān
[qǐng wèn nah yī tyen]
💬 Usage Tip: 一 is normally (yī), but before a falling tone like 天 it shifts to (yì), so 哪一天 is said (nǎ yì tiān).
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Starting with 請問 (qǐng wèn) is how polite staff ask customers anything. It works like "may I ask" and is always welcome when you ask strangers questions too.
