How to Say ‘Please heat this up.’ in Traditional Chinese
請幫我加熱。
qǐng bāng wǒ jiā rè
[ching bahng waw jyah-rer]
💬 Usage Tip: [請幫我 + verb] is a very useful polite pattern for asking staff to do something for you: [請幫我加熱], [請幫我打包]. It sounds softer than just saying the verb by itself.
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: This is especially common in Taiwan convenience stores when buying boxed food or drinks. Staff may also ask you first whether you want it heated, so you can simply answer [好，請幫我加熱。]
