Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases

👤

您

nín

You (formal)

🇨🇳 [您] is the polite way to say "you," useful with new contacts, older people, or anyone you want to show respect to at a business event. With peers in a relaxed setting, many people switch to [你] once the tone feels less formal.

👍

好

hǎo

Good

💬 In greetings like [您好], [好] doesn't literally mean "good" on its own so much as "well" or "fine." You'll see the same pattern in [大家好] "hello everyone" and [老师好] "hello, teacher."

您好

nín hǎo

Hello

🇨🇳 [您好] is a polite, safe greeting in professional situations, especially when meeting someone for the first time. At networking events, it sounds more respectful than a casual [你好].
