Let me add one point · trad. 我補充一點
我补充一点 (wǒ bǔchōng yìdiǎn) means “Let me add one point” or “Allow me to supplement.” Speakers use it in discussions or meetings to respectfully add information or a perspective without contradicting what has already been said, making it a very safe and polite phrase.
What does 我补充一点 (wǒ bǔchōng yīdiǎn) mean?
我补充一点 (wǒ bǔchōng yīdiǎn) means “let me add one point” in English. Word for word, it breaks down as “I supplement a bit.”
When to use it
Neutral and polite. It's commonly used in professional settings, such as business meetings or academic discussions, to interject smoothly. A more direct but less common alternative might be 我想说一点 (wǒ xiǎng shuō yìdiǎn), “I want to say a point.”
How to pronounce it
Sounds like “wuh boo-CHONG ee-DYEN.” The character 一 (yī) changes from its original first tone to a fourth tone when followed by a third tone, so 一点 is pronounced “yìdiǎn.”
