謝謝你今天請客。
xiè xiè nǐ jīn tiān qǐng kè
[shyeh-shyeh nǐ jin tyan qǐngkè]
💬 Usage Tip: Words like 今天 go before the action, not at the end like in English. Another example is 謝謝你昨天幫我 "thanks for helping me yesterday."
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: In Taiwan, whoever paid on a first date usually gets a thank-you text that night. A common follow-up is offering 下次我請 "next time it's on me," which keeps things balanced and sets up a second date.
