我请你
wǒ qǐng nǐ
My treat / I'll pay for you
When to Use
Offering to pay is a big part of Chinese social culture. There's often a friendly "fight" over who pays the bill. Saying 我请你 before the meal sets the expectation.
Examples
今天我请你，别客气。(Today's my treat, don't be polite.)
这顿我请。(This meal is on me.)
