How to Say ‘We recommend booking in advance.’ in Traditional Chinese

建議先預訂。

jiàn yì xiān yù dìng

[jyen-ee syen yoo-ding]

💬 Usage Tip: [建議] can mean "recommend" on its own without saying who is doing the recommending, which is common in service situations. You'll hear the same pattern in [建議早點到] "We recommend arriving a bit early."
