Chinese learning<\/a>\u00a0has become popular in many countries. People learn Chinese for various reasons. Some consider China a fascinating country for job-hunting and career development, others are passionate about gaining a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When it comes to language learning, the first question people tend to ask is how to say \u201chello\u201d. There are several words and phrases you can use to express \u201chello\u201d in Chinese. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10 Ways To Say Hello in Chinese<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

\u4f60\u597d n\u01d0 h\u01ceo\uff1athe most common way to say hello in Chinese<\/b><\/h3>\n

As has been mentioned above, \u201c\u4f60\u597d (n\u01d0 h\u01ceo)\u201d is the most common way to say hello in Chinese, and it can be used anytime during the day. \u201c\u4f60 (n\u01d0)\u201d means \u201cyou\u201d, and \u201c\u597d (h\u01ceo)\u201d means \u201cgood\u201d. Therefore, the literal meaning of this word is \u201cyou good\u201d. Chinese people say \u201c\u4f60\u597d (n\u01d0 h\u01ceo)\u201d to each other as this word is considered \u201cwell-wishing\u201d. The hidden meaning behind this word is that Chinese people hope everything is going well with their family members and friends, or sometimes even strangers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u60a8\u597d n\u00edn h\u01ceo<\/b><\/h3>\n

This word is another popular way to say hello in Chinese (especially in Northern China). The difference between \u201c\u60a8\u597d n\u00edn h\u01ceo\u201d and \u201c\u4f60\u597d n\u01d0 h\u01ceo\u201d lies in the meaning of \u201c\u60a8 n\u00edn\u201d, which is the polite form of \u201cyou\u201d. Therefore, if you meet someone for the very first time, or when you would like to say hello to people from older generations, it\u2019s better to say \u201c\u60a8\u597d n\u00edn h\u01ceo\u201d. However, you don\u2019t need to strictly follow this rule if you live in Southern China as \u201c\u4f60\u597d n\u01d0 h\u01ceo\u201d is much more commonly used in various situations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u4f60\u4eec\u597d n\u01d0men h\u01ceo\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u201c\u4f60\u4eec\u597d n\u01d0men h\u01ceo\u201d also means \u201chello\u201d, in which \u201c\u4f60\u4eec n\u01d0men\u201d stands for the plural form of \u201cyou\u201d. Hence, this word is usually used when you see a group of people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u5927\u5bb6\u597d d\u00e0 ji\u0101 h\u01ceo\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

The meaning of this word is slightly different from that of the three words explained above. \u201c\u5927\u5bb6 d\u00e0 ji\u0101\u201d can be translated as \u201ceveryone\u201d. Therefore, the actual meaning of this word is \u201chello everyone\u201d. It can be used, let\u2019s say, when you meet a group of new friends. In addition to this, you can also use this word to say hello to your new colleagues on the first day when you arrive at your new workplace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can study the greetings and goodbyes in Chinese on LingQ<\/a>. Work through the lesson and translate words and phrases you don’t know to add to your personal database of vocabulary:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u5582 w\u00e8i\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Chinese learners, especially beginners need to be careful with the use of this word. Despite the fact that \u201c\u5582 w\u00e8i\u201d indeed means \u201chello\u201d, however, it\u2019s only used when people are talking on the phone. Meanwhile, many young people in China tend to say \u201c\u4f60\u597d n\u01d0 h\u01ceo\u201d instead of \u201c\u5582 w\u00e8i\u201d even if they are talking on the phone. Another important factor you should always bear in mind is that you need to avoid using \u201c\u5582 w\u00e8i\u201d when you see someone face to face. The reason for that is because using \u201c\u5582 w\u00e8i\u201d in this situation would make you sound quite rude.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u65e9 z\u01ceo \/\u65e9\u4e0a\u597d z\u01ceo sh\u00e0ng h\u01ceo<\/b><\/h3>\n

In addition to the five Chinese words explained above, there are some other ways to say hello in Chinese depending on the time of day. For instance, if you would like to say hello to your colleagues after arriving at the office in the morning, you could say \u201c\u65e9 (z\u01ceo)\u201d or \u201c\u65e9\u4e0a\u597d (z\u01ceo sh\u00e0ng h\u01ceo)\u201d. Both phrases mean \u201cgood morning\u201d, and the key word \u201c\u65e9 (z\u01ceo)\u201d means \u201cearly\u201d. Consequently, if you bump into your buddy in the afternoon, you could say <\/span>\u201c\u4e0b\u5348\u597d (xi\u00e0 w\u01d4 h\u01ceo)\u201d<\/b>, in which \u201c\u4e0b\u5348 (xi\u00e0 w\u01d4)\u201d means \u201cafternoon\u201d. When you see, let\u2019s say, some friends at a party on a Friday evening, you could replace \u201c\u4f60\u597d (n\u01d0 h\u01ceo)\u201d with <\/span>\u201c\u665a\u4e0a\u597d (w\u01cen sh\u00e0ng h\u01ceo)\u201d<\/b>, which means \u201cgood evening\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

\u4f60\u5403\u4e86\u5417? n\u01d0 ch\u012b le ma?<\/b><\/h3>\n

This is a popular question that Chinese people ask during lunch breaks and in the evening. What is interesting about this question is that its actual meaning is \u201cHave you eaten?\u201d or \u201cHave you finished your lunch\/dinner?\u201d. Chinese people ask this question when they see someone they know not because they really care about the fact that if this person has finished his or her meal, but because it\u2019s a common way to start a casual conversation. Therefore, the \u201cfunction\u201d of this question is similar to that of \u201chello\u201d or \u201chow are you doing?\u201d in English. Chinese people\u2019s habit of asking this question to start a small talk implicitly reflects China\u2019s rich food culture, which is famous worldwide.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u55e8 h\u0101i \/\u54c8\u55bd h\u0101 l\u00f3u<\/b><\/h3>\n

You can easily tell that these two words mean \u201chello\u201d based on their pronunciation. Nowadays, young people in China are open-minded and susceptible to western culture. They are willing to learn foreign languages and communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds. As a result, quite a few loan words can now be observed in the Chinese language. \u201c\u55e8 (h\u0101i)\u201d and \u201c\u54c8\u55bd (h\u0101 l\u00f3u)\u201d are typical loan words that Chinese people use on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n
