有小一点的尺码吗？

When to use

This phrase is highly practical when shopping for apparel or footwear and the current size you are trying on is too large.

How it works

This is a yes/no question asking about the availability of a specific attribute.

• 有 (yǒu) - to have (verb)
• 小一点的 (xiǎo yì diǎn de) - a little smaller (adjective + degree complement + particle)
• 尺码 (chǐ mǎ) - size (noun)
• 吗 (ma) - question particle

Grammar

The pattern 有 + [Adjective] + 一点 is used to ask if a slightly different version of something is available. The particle 的 connects the descriptive phrase to the noun 尺码.

Pronunciation

Note the tone sandhi for 一点. The character 一 changes to a fourth tone because it precedes a third-tone syllable.

Notes

Use this to request a smaller size when clothes or shoes don't fit.
