我們等您來。
wǒ men děng nín lái
[waw men dung neen lie]
💬 Usage Tip: In [我們等您來], [來] marks the action you're expected to do: "come." The pattern [等 + someone + verb] can show what you're waiting for, as in [等你回來] "wait for you to come back."
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: This is a warm, service-style way to close a reservation call in Taiwan. It sounds welcoming rather than literal, like "we'll be expecting you."
