Hi Benny,
i have some questions. If i make a phone call, how can i say:
- he is not in the office right now/ he is in a meeting right now
- can i take a message?
- who is speaking? <- is not only “shei a”, right?
And if i’m working in a company and our clients are calling. I pick up the phone, what can i say?
> wei2? XYZ gong1si1…what else? Maybe also: here is “my name” (first name or last name?), how can i help you? < zenme shuo?
thanks in advance

And how does Chinese people (working in a company) say if they pick up the phone? Maybe: “喂? xyz 公司. How can i help you?” What does “how can i help you” in Chinese mean on the phone?
Thanks for helping! | |

Thanks for helping! Hi cheek,
In fact, in China normally, the reception doesn’t say “how can I help you” in Chinese. They just say “ABC company, ni hao”
