How to Say “Do you have WiFi?” in Chinese
Getting around · HSK 3
"Do you have WiFi?" in Chinese is 你们有无线网吗？ (Nǐmen yǒu wúxiàn wǎng ma?). In daily speech, Chinese people just say 'WiFi' (pronounced 'wāi-fāi') rather than the formal 无线网 (wúxiàn wǎng, 'wireless network'). Almost every café, restaurant, and hotel in China offers free WiFi, but you'll often need to ask for the 密码 (mìmǎ, password); it's usually printed on the receipt or table placard.

When to use it
In daily speech, Chinese people just say 'WiFi' (pronounced 'wāi-fāi') rather than the formal 无线网 (wúxiàn wǎng, 'wireless network'). Almost every café, restaurant, and hotel in China offers free WiFi, but you'll often need to ask for the 密码 (mìmǎ, password); it's usually printed on the receipt or table placard. Many public WiFi networks also require a Chinese phone number for SMS verification, which trips up foreign travelers. Using 你们 (nǐmen, 'you all') instead of 你 (nǐ, 'you') is more natural when addressing a business.
