How to Say ‘Hi, I have a reservation for Saturday evening.’ in Traditional Chinese

你好，我週六晚上有訂位。

nǐ hǎo wǒ zhōu liù wǎn shàng yǒu dìng wèi

[nǐ how wǒ zhōuliù wahn shahng yǒu dìngwèi]

💬 Usage Tip: The time goes right after 我 and before the verb, never at the end the way English puts it. So it's 我明天有課 "I have class tomorrow".
