PinYin55 Posted August 27, 2013 at 03:21 PM Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 at 03:21 PM I am looking to buy a scooter in Taiwan. I have someone who speaks Chinese helping me, but I want to email a bunch of sellers to get some.info first. Trying to compose a basic email that asks: Is the scooter still available? How is the condition? Any damage? Has all the maintenance been done? How many kilometers on the odometer? Sorry if this is too much to ask in this forum. Thanks for any help!

Geray Posted August 30, 2013 at 07:34 AM Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 at 07:34 AM Is the scooter still available?你的摩托车能用吗? How is the condition? Any damage? Has all the maintenance been done?摩托车的状况如何?有损坏吗?几成新?在保修期吗? How many kilometers on the odometer?跑了多少里程了? I am a chinese. Glad to help you. i translate your questions as above , and i don't know if you want to buy a new one from shop or an old one from other people, so i only translate your question. i can write a email for you if you need.

Kev Posted September 16, 2013 at 10:21 PM Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 at 10:21 PM Gerary, Is the scooter still available?你的摩托车能用吗? Sorry, I think this may be wrong - "available" in this context means, has it been sold yet? Why did you add 几成新? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geray Posted September 22, 2013 at 08:30 AM Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 at 08:30 AM Kev, I agree with you about the first point, "Is the scooter still available?" ----> in Chinese should be "你的摩托车已经售出了吗?" the second point, I add "几成新", this is an extra information, in general , it is commonly used in Chinese, which means " degree of depreciation" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
