How to Say ‘Have a drink with me’ in Traditional Chinese
跟我喝一杯
gēn wǒ hē yī bēi
[gēn wǒ hē yī bēi]
💬 Usage Tip: [喝一杯] literally means "drink one cup/glass," but in natural English it's often just "have a drink." Chinese often uses [一 + measure word] this way for a casual, once-off action.
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: [跟我喝一杯] is direct and a bit forward. In Taiwan, it can work in a bar if the vibe is already warm, but with a stranger it may land better softened, like adding [要不要] before it.
