VYOO-ing

Neutral Neutral

What it really means

A visit to see a property before renting it. Book through the agent or landlord. At a viewing, check for damp, water pressure, phone signal and noise — and never pay money for a property you have not viewed.

Chinese explanation

租房前的实地看房。通过中介或房东预约。看房时检查潮湿、水压、手机信号和噪音——切勿为没看过的房子付款。

Example conversation

A: Can I book a viewing for the room on Elm Road? B: Yes, we have slots on Thursday afternoon.

A：我可以预约看 Elm Road 的那个房间吗？ B：可以，周四下午有空档。

What you could say back

“Thursday at 4 would suit me, thanks.”
