Aquatarkus Posted October 8, 2010 at 11:17 AM Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 at 11:17 AM I'm trying to write a request for accomodation to one chinese friend. Unfortunately, his English is not too good and I'd like to ask in Chinese. Here's what I have scribbled. Please take a look and correct the most obvious mistakes. We (I and my wife) want to visit Huangshan approximately in the middle of November. I want to ask you if it's possible to stay at your place for 2-3 days. If you will be at home at this time, please answer. 我们（我和我的妻子）想访问黄山11月中旬左右。我想问你，如果有可能留在你那儿2-3日子内进行。如果你在家里会在这个时候，请回答。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisPal Posted October 8, 2010 at 03:57 PM Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 at 03:57 PM Do you want a Chinese version? 我和妻子想在11月中旬游览黄山,如果你方便，我们希望能在你那里住2,3天。请尽快回复我. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymoose Posted October 8, 2010 at 04:16 PM Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 at 04:16 PM Don't you think that if you're asking someone a favour like that, it's a bit rude to say 请尽快回复我 at the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted October 8, 2010 at 05:01 PM Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 at 05:01 PM Well, it is only one month away, and if the friend doesn't respond for a while he'll need to find somewhere else.... Is there a more polite way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquatarkus Posted October 9, 2010 at 09:07 AM Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 at 09:07 AM I'd like to adjust my original question a little. Namely, I want to ask "If you will be at home at this time and it doesn't interfere with your plans, please answer". What's the best way of speaking this in Chinese?
