How to Say ‘I've found it.’ in Traditional Chinese

有查到喔。

yǒu chá dào ō

[yǒu chádào oh]

💬 Usage Tip: Using 有 before a verb to say something happened, as in 有查到, is typical of Taiwan Mandarin. Mainland speakers would usually just say 查到了.

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: The ending 喔 makes it sound friendly and reassuring. Service staff in Taiwan use it constantly.
