Common mistakes

Small fixes that make your Chinese sound natural.

1. Use the fixed expression 退房

Not natural

我想退房间。

Natural

我想退房。

Why

Hotel checkout is expressed with the fixed verb 退房; do not add 间.

2. Mark the storage endpoint with 到

Not natural

可以寄存下午四点吗?

Natural

可以寄存到下午四点吗?

Why

到 introduces the time until which the luggage will be stored.

3. Count luggage with 件

Not natural

我有两张行李。

Natural

我有两件行李。

Why

Use 件 for separate pieces of luggage; 张 counts flat objects such as tickets or sheets.
