let me see you抖音


Ditch the Chinglish!

You might think "Let me see see" is a direct translation of the Chinese phrase "让我看看". Nope! While it might be tempting to use this Chinglish phrase, it's not grammatically correct in English.

Although similar in appearance, "Let me see" has a different meaning. It's often used when you need time to think or consider something, especially when facing a problem that requires careful thought.

For example, imagine you're grappling with a tricky situation: "Let me see... how can we best approach this challenging issue?"

So, how can we express "让我看看" naturally in English? Here are a couple of alternatives:

  1. "Let me sleep on it." This means you need time to think things over before making a decision. For example: "I'm not ready to decide just yet. Can I sleep on it and get back to you tomorrow?"
  2. "Let me check." Use this when you need to verify or investigate something. For example: "Let me check our records and see if we have any appointments available."

Remember: "Let me have a look" is the correct way to say "让我看看". Avoid the Chinglish trap and speak like a pro! Stay tuned for more valuable tips in our upcoming episodes!
