Chinese Bites — with Jianying | HSK3️⃣Show Notes
My friend asked if I wanted to go hiking this weekend, but I’ve been so busy lately that I said, “Let’s talk about it later.”Let’s learn how to say “we’ll see / let’s talk about it later” in Chinese. 再说吧 （zài shuō ba) Hello，大家好，我是Janine。Hello, dàjiā hǎo, wǒ shì Janine.Hello everyone, I’m Janine.
昨天晚上朋友问我：Zuótiān wǎnshang péngyou wèn wǒ:Last night, my friend asked me:
“周末要不要去爬山？”“Zhōumò yào bù yào qù páshān?”“Do you want to go hiking this weekend?”
我想了想，说：Wǒ xiǎng le xiǎng, shuō:I thought for a moment and said:
“这几天工作太忙了，再说吧。”“Zhè jǐ tiān gōngzuò tài máng le, zài shuō ba.”“I’ve been too busy these days — let’s talk about it later.”
其实我还没决定去不去。Qíshí wǒ hái méi juédìng qù bú qù.Honestly, I still haven’t decided if I’ll go or not.
