How to Say “Any plans today?” in Chinese
Small talk and travel
"Any plans today?" in Chinese is 今天有什么安排？ (Jīntiān yǒu shénme ānpái?). 安排 (ānpái, 'arrangement/plan') is the neutral, everyday word; use it with colleagues, classmates, or anyone you don't know super well. Between close friends, 今天干嘛 (literally 'what are you doing today') is far more common and sounds natural; saying 有什么安排 to a best friend feels oddly formal, almost like you're scheduling a meeting.

When to use it
安排 (ānpái, 'arrangement/plan') is the neutral, everyday word; use it with colleagues, classmates, or anyone you don't know super well. Between close friends, 今天干嘛 (literally 'what are you doing today') is far more common and sounds natural; saying 有什么安排 to a best friend feels oddly formal, almost like you're scheduling a meeting. A native tip: Chinese speakers often skip 'any' and 'do you have'; 今天什么安排？works just as well and sounds more casual. If you want to make plans together, add 一起 (yīqǐ, 'together'): 今天一起干嘛？
