ABSTRACT

Literally, kòng fángjian means ‘unoccupied room’. The word kòng used here is the same kòng as in ynu kòng (to have time) in Lesson 10. In the context of booking into a hotel, kòng fángjian can mean ‘vacancy’ or ‘rooms available’. For example:

Duìbuqm. Wnmen méi ynu kòng fángjiAn. Sorry. We don’t have any vacancies.
