Greetings

The easiest way to greet people in Chinese is 'Nǐ hǎo。' which means 'Hello.' In Chinese, 'nǐ' is 'you', 'hǎo' means 'good'. In response to 'Nǐ hǎo。', you can simply say 'Nǐ hǎo。' back.

Other greetings include the following:

'Zǎo shàng hǎo。' = Good morning.

'Zhōng wǔ hǎo。' = Good noon.

'Xià wǔ hǎo。' = Good afternoon.

'Wǎn shàng hǎo。' = Good evening.

Try using the greetings with your Chinese-speaking friends and see how they respond.
