   Nga dzom-du chig cha-drig kyab go.

   I'd like to schedule a meeting.

   Usage

   Used in Dzongkha to request scheduling a business meeting

   Grammar Note

   Meeting is dzom-du and "to schedule" is cha-drig kyab-ni; sentence-final "go" expresses "want to"

2. ངའི་ཚོང་འབྲེལ་ཤོག་བྱང་ཁྱེད་ལུ་སྤྲོད་ནི་ཨིན།

   Ngai tshong-drel shog-jang khye lu troe ni in.

   Let me give you my business card.

   Usage

   Used in Dzongkha when handing over a business card

   "Ni in" marks intention or a planned action. Tshong-drel means business and shog-jang means card

3. ང་གྲོས་ཚོགས་ཀྱི་དོན་ལུ་འདི་ནང་འོང་ཡི།

   Nga droe-tshog kyi doen lu di nang ong yi.

   I'm here for a conference.

   Conference is droe-tshog; "doen lu" is the postposition marking purpose

   Dro-song di gi jor-tag chig nang tshug ga?

   Could I have a receipt for this expense?

   Usage

   Used in Dzongkha to request a receipt for an expense

   Grammar Note

   The words are dro-song (expense) and jor-tag (receipt); thob-thang means "entitlement", not "expense". "Nang tshug ga" asks "could I have ...?"

   Nye-sho kyi chig-khar la be sa ga-te mo?

   Where is the nearest coworking space?

   Usage

   Used in Dzongkha to find a coworking space

   Grammar Note

   "Ga-te mo" asks "where is it?". There is no dedicated word for "coworking space", so this is a descriptive paraphrase built from chig-khar (together) and la (work)

   Nga lu chu-tshoe sum lu dzom-du chig yoe.
