🎧 How to Say “Wait a Moment” in Chinese ⏳🇨🇳
You’ll hear it every day — on the phone, in restaurants, or when your friend says “Hold on!” But how do you say “Wait a moment” naturally in Chinese?
In this episode of eChineseLearningPod, Ruby and Eric teach four easy and essential ways to pause politely in Mandarin — from the universal 等一下 (děng yī xià) to friendly 等会儿 (děng huǐr) and the formal 请稍等一下 (qǐng shāo děng yī xià) you’ll hear at hotels or customer service counters.
With clear examples, tone tips, and fun mini dialogues, you’ll sound instantly more natural the next time you need someone to wait — whether you’re chatting with friends or answering a business call!
