How to Greet Each Other During the CNY Holiday?

2021-02-20 SilkMandarin

Hey, everyone!
Happy Spring Festival Holiday!

"How to Say … in Chinese?" series.

Today, let's talk about how to greet each other during the Chinese New Year👇

新年好 Xīnnián hǎoThis is the equivalence of "Happy New Year".

You can also say 新年快樂 Xīnnián kuàilè, 過年好 Guònián hǎo.
恭喜 gōngxǐ literally means "to congratulate"; 發財 fācái means "to get rich, to make a fortune".
恭喜發財's literal meaning is "May you be happy and prosperous".

Now Chinese people like to play this phrase a bit by saying "恭喜發財Gōngxǐ fācái，紅包拿來Hóngbāo nálái"!

紅包拿來 means "give me red envelope". Chinese people ask for 紅包 during Chinese New Year for the good omen for the coming new year.

萬事 wàn shì literally means 10 thousand things. 如意 rúyì literally means "as one wishes".

萬事如意's literal meaning is "Everything goes as you wish".

牛年大吉 Niúnián dàjí

牛年Niúnián is Year of the Ox, 大吉 dàjí literally means "extremely lucky". 牛年大吉 means "wish you the best luck in the Year of Ox".

You got it?

Practice all these auspicious words together to send your family and friends the Chinese New Year wishes!
新年好！恭喜發財！萬事如意！牛年大吉！
