Lesson 7: Greetings.

Well, let’s begin interaction with chinese world.

What are the different ways of greet among chinese population?

  • To say hello: 你好 / Nǐ hǎo/
This is the base form, but you must change the pronouns depending on the receiver. So, we have:

  • 您好/Nín hǎo/ this is the polite form for you.
  • 你们好 / Nǐmén hǎo/ this is the plural form.
  • Marta, 你好 / Nǐ hǎo/ to address one particular person.

In China, the standard greeting is usually accompanied by a long handshake  (with both hands). Although the handshake is more common, some people prefer a bow.


  • Wish good morning/afternoon/night.
  • Say Good bye.
