左转还是右转?
Turn left or right?
左转 (zuǒ zhuǎn) means 'turn left', 还是 (háishi) means 'or' (in questions), and 右转 (yòu zhuǎn) means 'turn right'. The structure is: option A + 还是 + option B.
Use this when you're unsure of a direction and need to confirm with someone. It's a polite way to ask for clarification. English speakers might say 'Left or right?' but adding 转 (zhuǎn) makes it clear you're talking about turning. You can also use it in other contexts, like '左转还是右转?' when giving instructions.
“Turn left or right?” in Chinese is 左转还是右转? (zuǒ zhuǎn háishi yòu zhuǎn?).
