How to Say “Do you have a smaller one?” in Chinese
Shopping
"Do you have a smaller one?" in Chinese is 有小一点的吗？ (yǒu xiǎo yì diǎn de ma?). The 一点 (yì diǎn) + 的 pattern is one of the most useful shopping structures; swap 小 for 大 (big), 便宜 (cheap), 新 (new), 长 (long) and you have a whole toolkit. Chinese clothing sizes often run one size smaller than Western equivalents, so even if you're normally a Medium, ask for 大一号 (dà yí hào, one size up).

When to use it
The 一点 (yì diǎn) + 的 pattern is one of the most useful shopping structures; swap 小 for 大 (big), 便宜 (cheap), 新 (new), 长 (long) and you have a whole toolkit. Chinese clothing sizes often run one size smaller than Western equivalents, so even if you're normally a Medium, ask for 大一号 (dà yí hào, one size up). 号 (hào) specifically means 'size number' for shoes and clothes, while 点 is more general 'a little bit'.
