How to Say ‘This Saturday evening’ in Traditional Chinese
這個星期六晚上
zhè gè xīng qī liù wǎn shàng
[zhè guh xīngqíliù wahn shahng]
💬 Usage Tip: Chinese stacks time from big to small: day first, then part of day, as in 明天中午 "tomorrow noon". The whole time phrase then goes before the verb, not at the end.
