How do you say “hello” in Chinese? Let’s learn how to say “hello” in Chinese.
Nǐ hǎo.
你好。
Hello.
你 (nǐ) The third tone, and it means you.
好 (hǎo) The third tone, and it means good; fine; nice.
Notice: When two third-tone syllables are read in sequence, the first syllable turns into the second tone, i.e., the 3+3 sequence becomes a 2+3 one. For example, “ nǐ（你）” + “ hǎo （好）” is read “ ní hǎo”. However, when put in written form, the original tone is kept.
“你好 (Nǐ hǎo) Hello.” This is the most commonly used way of saying “hello” in Chinese. If it’s a little more formal for the people who are higher than you in status, you can use “您 (nín) ” instead of “你 (nǐ)”, saying “您好 (nín hǎo)” for your boss, professors, teachers or clients.
