How to Say ‘I'm not so sure about this.’ in Traditional Chinese

這個我不太確定。

zhè gè wǒ bù tài què dìng

[zhè guh wo bù tài quèdìng]

💬 Usage Tip: Putting the topic 這個 first, then your comment, is very natural in Chinese: "this — I'm not sure".

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Direct disagreement can feel confrontational in a Taiwanese office, so colleagues often voice doubts as uncertainty like this instead of saying "no".
