How do you say excuse me speak English in mandarin?

There are a few ways to say "excuse me, speak English" in Mandarin, depending on the context and level of formality. Here are some options:

Formal:

* 请问您会说英语吗? (Qǐngwèn nín huì shuō Yīngyǔ ma?) - "Excuse me, do you speak English?" This is a polite and formal way to ask.

* 请问您能用英语交流吗? (Qǐngwèn nín néng yòng Yīngyǔ jiāoliú ma?) - "Excuse me, can you communicate in English?" This is also very polite and suitable for formal situations.

Informal:

* 你会说英语吗? (Nǐ huì shuō Yīngyǔ ma?) - "Do you speak English?" This is a more casual way to ask.

* 你英文好吗? (Nǐ Yīngwén hǎo ma?) - "Is your English good?" This is even more casual and might be used with friends or family.

To get someone's attention before asking:

* 打扰一下 (Dǎrǎo yīxià) - "Excuse me" or "Pardon me"

* 不好意思 (Bù hǎoyìsi) - "Excuse me" or "Sorry to bother you"

You can combine any of these phrases with "我需要用英语交流 (wǒ xūyào yòng Yīngyǔ jiāoliú) - I need to communicate in English" for a complete sentence.

For example:

* 打扰一下,请问您会说英语吗? (Dǎrǎo yīxià, qǐngwèn nín huì shuō Yīngyǔ ma?) - "Excuse me, do you speak English?"

* 不好意思,你会说英语吗?我需要用英语交流。 (Bù hǎoyìsi, nǐ huì shuō Yīngyǔ ma? Wǒ xūyào yòng Yīngyǔ jiāoliú.) - "Excuse me, do you speak English? I need to communicate in English."

Remember to be polite and patient when asking.
