When to use it
试衣间 literally breaks down as 试 (try) + 衣 (clothes) + 间 (room). In Beijing and the north you'll hear 哪儿 (nǎr) with the erhua; in the south and Taiwan it's 哪里 (nǎlǐ). Larger department stores like 万达 or 银泰 have staff-monitored fitting rooms where you hand in a numbered tag with how many items you're bringing in. Taiwanese department stores often require you to remove shoes before entering; watch for a small shoe rack outside.
