Chinese new year greetings: Prosperity & Wealth Greetings

💬 [好] is often used in greetings in the sense of "well/good" rather than literally "good." The pattern [noun + 好] is common in set greetings, like [大家好] and [老师好].

💬 Chinese often makes greetings with [noun + 好], so [新年好] is literally "New Year good" but means "Happy New Year." You can reuse the pattern in fixed greetings like [大家好].

💬 [回家] is literally "[return] + [home]," and Chinese often says direction or destination right after the verb. The same pattern works in [回国] "return to the country" or [回北京] "go back to Beijing."

💬 [了...吗] is a very common way to ask whether something has happened yet: statement with [了], then add [吗] to make it a question. You can swap in other verbs, like [吃了吗？] or [到了吗？].

💬 [了...吗] asks whether an action has been completed, so [回家了吗？] is more like "Have you gone home yet?" than a simple past tense question. The same pattern works with many verbs, like [下班了吗？].

💬 [回来] combines a verb with direction: [回] "return" plus [来] "toward here." Compare it with [回去], which means returning away from the speaker.
